Holbeach Town and Country Fayre is a record breaker

Organisers hailed last weekend’s Holbeach Town and Country Fayre a record breaker.

The event, in its 24th year, attracted more than 800 visitors to Kings Field on Saturday and up to 2,000 Sunday.

Colin Newell, committee vice chairman, said: “It went brilliantly and smashed all records. It is the best year we have had. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.”

Profits exceeding £1,500 are expected, which are donated to local charities and reinvested in the event.

Attractions included a craft and model tent and vintage tractors and steam engines in the main arena. For the first time, there was a second arena with family entertainment, including a dog show, martial arts and dance displays.

On Sunday, there was also a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast.
