Village fête returns to St Martin's after more than 16 years

The event in St Martins featured dance and gymnastics performances, and an under-14s football match.

Tracy Evans, organiser of the event, said: "It was a fun day filled with dance, gymnastics, and an under-14s football match against Ellesmere under-14s, resulting in a 2-2 draw.

"The fire service and police were also in attendance, with the fire service still attending even after being so busy lately with wildfires."

Ms Evans said the event aimed to raise funds for the village hall while bringing together old and new residents.

She said: "although has been time consuming a lot or hard work and stress it had all been worth it to see the community come together and support the village hall and all the stall holders."

Ms Evans thanked fellow trustees, volunteers, John "at the keys" for running the bar and arranging a food stall, and Shaun from Oswestry Takeaway for stepping in at short notice.

She also thanked businesses that donated raffle prizes.
