Thanks to everyone who came! It was a great day - we estimate around 300 people came through the gates and enjoyed the beautiful weather. There are a few more pictures on our Facebook page - I was personally too busy to take many, as I was helping out with the archery - which was certainly well attended! I’ll see if the other volunteers got any photos, and put them up soon.
