Around 600 people gathered at the village primary school on Saturday to enjoy a range of activities, which raised a total of £1,800 and attracted visitors from as north as Scotland to Worthing in Sussex.

On the day, adults and children could compete with one another in events such as a coconut shy, a sack race and the traditional egg and spoon competition, as well as a three-legged race and a snail race!

Kevin Dunsheath, one of the event organisers, was amazed with the popularity of this year's Feast.

He said: "This was our best event ever; it was a lovely atmosphere.

"It is the best attendance we have had over the last ten years.

"People stayed and it was constant; we drew people in from outside as well."

Mayor of Ely, Michael Rouse, was in attendance at the Feast where he visited a special exhibition at the village's St George's Church.

A tombola was also held and prizes were also won in other competitions throughout the day, including a decorated garden plate.
