The event, organised by Community Opportunities and The Little Onion Club, took place on Sunday and featured a selection of stalls, kid’s games and food as the community came together to enjoy a day outside.

Many visitors brought their own food, drink and deckchairs as they enjoyed an afternoon of music from Felling Band, who performed a selection of modern and classic favourites.
