FUN was had by all at the Fyfield Festival, with everything from dogs to bric-a-brac on show.

The annual event, which raises funds for St Nicholas Church, was filled with stalls and events and there was a bit of something for everyone.

"It was a really good day and a great success," said organiser Carol Cox.

"The dog show was very successful and we had nearly 50 entrants.

"In the end, Best in Show was awarded to Emily Hepel with her lovely cavalier King Charles spaniel called Bonny.

"The best puppy went to Bobbie and Oliver Bailey and their shih-tzu called Buddy."

The member of the parochial council added: "It was a really good family day out.

"We are still counting, but so far we have raised £2,600.

"This event is a key part of the Church event calendar as it brings in vital funds."

The festival featured stalls for everyone and the bric-a-brac stand drew in many eager bargain hunters.

A highlight of the day was the children's concert, which, following the festival's theme of hats, featured a number of headpiece based tunes.

A colourful sight, which helped to brighten the day, was the flower competition, featuring over 20 entrants.

The Fyfield Festival has run for three years and the flower festival, which was restricted to just garden displays, was a regular feature for more than 20 years.

Mrs Cox, a resident of 33 years, said: "I wouldn't have been able to do it without a wonderful team of helpers who brought it all together."
