Organised by Becket Residents' Association, the event demonstrated the closeness of the community as more than 250 turned out to to enjoy stalls, races, games, dancing, entertainers, music and a Hog roast.

The scene was set by members of the organising committee turning out in Edwardian dress and the event was opened by Mayor Heather Mercer, who stayed to enjoy the fun.

Donations during the afternoon enabled more than 400 to be donated to local charity Forget-Me-Not Families. Local businesses had donated prizes for the raffle and Baco0n and Co had sponsored the hog roast.
