Hundreds of people visited Holy Trinity Church on Saturday where they enjoyed stalls, a sweet tombola, raffle, games and more.

In the morning there was a show competition, with Sharon Weston and her large lettuce being crowned overall winner.

Other categories included fruit and salad, flowers and plants, cookery, handicraft and farming, as well as categories specifically for children.

“There were some really top class paintings and portraits and we welcomed between 200 and 300 people throughout the day.
