A medieval summer fayre has raised over £900 for a church restoration project.

The event took place at St Peter's Church in Salisbury, on July 25, and was attended by local families, residents, and history enthusiasts.

The money raised will go towards the ongoing restoration of the church and its expansion for wider community use.

Visitors were entertained by music from visiting organist Susan Pykett, morris dancing and folk music by Sarum Morris, traditional fairground games, cream teas, and the chance to soak trustees in the stocks.

Neil Prigent, chair of the Trustees, said: "It was lovely to see so many of our friends and neighbours coming together to support our project to restore the church for wider use by the community.

"We raised over £900 at the event and are now awaiting news on our application for Lottery funding."

The fair gave visitors a chance to see St Peter's Church in a festive light while supporting the church's continued restoration efforts.
