Hundreds enjoyed the 35th annual ‘Marbury Merry Days’ two-day traditional country fair near Nantwich.

The event is organised by St Michael & All Angels Parochial Church Council.

It takes places every May next to the church and Marbury Big Mere, three miles from Wrenbury.

The Vikings re-enacted battle displays with axes and broadswords, rowed a longship on the Big Mere and setup a living history village.

Other attractions and events included a craft and gift fair, trade stands, vintage motor cycles, classic cars, vintage tractors, stalls and tombola, cake stall, refreshments, ice cream, children’s activity area, Pinxton Puppets show, model aircraft flying display, dog and terrier racing, GLOs dance and cheer, Newfoundland dogs water display, Fun Dog Show and Whitchurch Dog Display Team.

Attractions inside St Michael’s & All Angels Parish Church included a spinning demonstration, organ music and floral decorations.

Despite some wet weather, hundreds of people attended and enjoyed the event.

All proceeds go towards the upkeep of the St Michael’s & All Angels Parish Church.

Next years ‘Marbury Merry Days’ will take place on Saturday and Sunday May 9 and 10.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
