The annual Hatfield Community Fair returned earlier this week, with the third instalment hailed a huge success.

Organised by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council as a part of its BIG Summer event line-up, the fair saw visitors enjoy free children's activities, live entertainment and plenty of stallholders.
