Hundreds of pounds were raised for two local causes at Ditchingham’s grand village fete.

The event saw visitors enjoying 43 stalls at ‘The Dip’, along with live music, a circus workshop and donkey rides.

Games stalls raised £200 for the Ditchingham Men’s Shed project, with a further £571 raised towards an ongoing appeal to repair the roof at St Mary’s Church in the village.

Organiser Georgina Simmonds said: “Despite the storm over night the morning started off good. We had 43 stalls turn up, lots more people than last year and there was a good atmosphere with people laughing and having fun.

“I would like to thank everyone who came and support us and a big thanks to all the people from the village who helped out and made the day run smoothly.”
