“This year we decided to bring history to life with crafts and produce that reflect traditional village trades and activities.

“Along with local producers such as a brewer, pie maker, baker and bee keeper, crafts will include lace making, handmade bags, jewellery and pyrography.

“We’re delighted that Karen will add a touch of colour and her voice to open the day.

“Along with all the stalls, there will be historical features including Marshalls tractors, agricultural tools and village photographs.”
