The hot weather and lure of live music and craft demonstrations made this year's Banham's Appleyard Fayre the most popular ever.
Now in its third year, it has moved from being predominately a craft fair to involving a lot more music.

One of the organisers, Jonty Wright, said: "There must have been about ten different acts on the stage or at the front playing acoustically.
"The turnout was more than last year and it was a lot busier. There was in the region of 1,000 people over the day."

The audience were treated to performances by singer/songwriters Rusty Floyd and Jon Hart and three piece Reg Rabbit and the Fast Breeders – a band who have played the festival since it started.

It may have been diminutive in size but the hand-painted exhibits of the Insect Circus Museum was a big attraction, featuring scenes, props and other points of interest from the Insect Circus Society.

Money raised from the event will go to East Anglia's Children's Hospices, The Norfolk Autistic Society and The Suffolk Horse Society.

Mr Wright said he hoped to top last year's amount of £1,800.
Mr Wright thanked Martin Goymour for the free use of his land for the fair.
