MIDSUMMER’S Day provided the perfect backdrop for Whiteparish Fete, held at the Memorial Ground on Saturday and raising funds for All Saints, School and Church.
This year's theme was 100 years ago, and children in fancy dress walked from the church to the new Memorial Centre after being judged by 98-year- old former longterm resident Marjorie Andrews.
The fete was well attended as villagers browsed the many stalls, including tombola, plant, book and bottle stalls and homemade crafts goodies.
The children had fun on the bouncy castle and refreshments were available, including afternoon tea in the Cowesfield Room of the new hall, freshly made burgers and very welcome glasses of Pimm’s.
Entertainment was provided by singer Harry Ellis and the Miss Melanie Forest School of Dance.
The competition winners were as follows:
