Families and gardening enthusiasts flocked to the eighth Rowdeford Garden Fair on Sunday.

Almost 1,000 visitors attended and bought plants from the 20 or so nurseries that had stalls.

The event is in the grounds of Rowdeford School, Rowde, and raises money for Rowdeford Charity Trust.

Children were kept entertained by Bromham magician Jack Stephens, learned about creepy crawlies on a bug hunt and took part in activities in the outdoor classroom.

Piglets that are looked after by Rowdeford School attracted a lot of visitors, while Vaughan’s Kitchen, Bromham WI café and the Pimms tent were busy.

The Terry Veale Jazz Trio provided the music.

Jeremy Sidmouth, committee member of Rowdeford Charity Trust, said: “We have raised in the region of £9,000, which is a bit better than last year.

“This is probably down to the weather being better.

“The word is getting out that Rowdeford Garden Fair is becoming a recognised event and people look forward to it.”
