John Hacker, fund raising co-ordinator for the church, said: "We had a wonderful weekend. The weather was absolutely brilliant."

A raffle was drawn at the festival, and giant teddy bear Ted the Tiler was won by a member of the church's congregation.

Mr Hacker added he and Joy Wood, who organised the flowers at the festival, would like to thank everyone who supported the church over the weekend, including visitors, stall holders and helpers.
