The event is always held on the third weekend of August and crowds enjoyed the fine - albeit breezy - conditions as they browsed around more than 100 stalls with a range of crafts and displays from basket weaving to pottery making to metalwork.
All exhibitors donate 10pc of their takings to a fund which is distributed to local good causes and it is hoped more than �6000 will be given out.
