PUNCH and Judy, maypole dancing and badge-making were just some of the traditional entertainment that visitors to Valentines Mansion enjoyed.
Friends of Valentines Mansion held their annual May Fair on Saturday (May 19).
Around 500 people entered the grounds and braved the overcast Spring weather to enjoy the afternoon.
Barbara Norcaro, 74, is chairman of the Friends.
She said: "The day went very well. Everyone enjoyed themselves, the music was great and the weather held off.
"There was a lot of enthusiasm for the craft stalls and crowds were gathering for the maypole dancing and the Punch and Judy show."
Over 30 stalls, of which two-thirds are regulars each year, were available for people to peruse and try out new things.
Julie Fallon, a committee member of Friends of Valentines Mansion said: "We had a brilliant time. Some of the kids were so amused by the Punch and Judy show, it was lovely to see their faces."
Valentines Mansion was visited in April as part of the Queens Diamond Jubilee Tour.
