Josh and Katie were confirmed as Lad and Lass at the Picking Night in the village’s community centre, which was packed by well-wishers and supporters.

The Fair Day on May 31 features the ever-popular Fruit and Flower Parade.

And after the Saturday Fair Madness, tribute band Mandish will headline a night of entertainment for those 18 and over in the community centre.
