It raised over £2,000 towards the upkeep of the Roman Catholic church on Queen’s Promenade, Ramsey.

‘A great deal of hard work goes into these fairs but the appreciation from the wider community makes it all worthwhile.
‘It was a great success.’
The fair had on sale, craft materials such fabrics, trims, lace and craft patterns.
There was also a bottle stall, hand made gifts, jewellery and bric-a-brac stalls as well as a raffle.
