Circus theme for village event.

CIRCUS was the theme and thousands rolled up when Chardstock held its annual street fayre on Saturday.

Amongst the attractions were a “Big Top” workshop, a death-defying performance by escapologist Merlin Cadogan, and the popular panto horse derby.

There were competition cars, vintage tractors and stationary engines to see and also on the bill were the Karizma Majorettes, Uncle Ray’s magic show, the tractor trundle and the infamous Chardstock Morris Chancers and Prancers .

Local acts booked to perform throughout the day and into the evening included Out for the Count, Seatrees, Arthur Shaw, Cryostorm, Elliot E Bastin, The Lost and Found, Mick Whitworth, Kelly Osborne

and Transition.
