Hide AdAlison Davies, event organiser, said: “After months of planning and preparation, the day dawned warm and sunny and soon proved to be the hottest day of the year to date.


“From early morning, the school playing field was a hub of activity as stall holders from the school, St Mary’s church, the village and wider community erected gazebos and prepared their stalls, in readiness for the fair.
“From the youngest to the oldest, we all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of fun, friendship and community.
“There was something for everyone: from the bottle tombola, raffle, cakes and produce and posh goods to face painting, temporary tattoos, pint pots (the children’s tombola), stalls run by Year Six pupils and bouncy castles.
