A March church made the most of Saturday's good weather to raise more than £1,000 at its summer fayre.

The fayre is the Catholic church's only substantial fund-raiser held during the year, and made a return to the calendar after it was cancelled last year.

A number of games stalls included guessing the name of a six-week-old chick and a teddy bear, and throwing balls into a flower pot in a limited amount of time.

March Brass 2000 also played throughout the afternoon, with teas, cakes and strawberries served to visitors.

The money raised will go towards church running costs.
