Paul Butler, the chair of the fete committee, said: "It went really well and we were really lucky with the weather.

"It was a great success, as we raised around £13,000 pounds, which will go towards the church and the school's PTA, distributed to support anything that is necessary at the school or church."

The event included maypole dancing, archery, live music, and much more.
