ST Peter’s church in March held their annual Christmas Fayre on Saturday.

Visitors were treated to Father Christmas, a vintage bicycle exhibition, a woodcraft stall, a card stall, draws and a tombola.

The stalls raised �800 and with food included the total amount raised was more than �1,000.

David Collision, who is church warden, said: “It went very well.

“When I walked around it was all very bristling and busy and Father Christmas was very much in evidence.”

The money raised will go towards the church’s �60,000 annual costs,

Mr Collision invited March residents to come along and enjoy the church’s peaceful surroundings.

He said: “We have the church open all day everyday for the town’s people to walk in and sit quietly whatever faith they may have.”
