Hundreds fill the Square as summer tradition is blessed with fine weather for the first time in four years.
HUNDREDS of people packed into South Molton square to enjoy the sunshine at the Old English Fayre this weekend.
Events included the crowning of the fayre queen, Maisy-Beth Grimley, maypole dancing and a ‘battle of the bands’.
Stephen White, fayre committee chairman, said he was ‘delighted’ with how the weekend had gone.
