This historic Frampton Feast Fair, which originated in medieval times, took place on August 19 to 22 on the village green said to be the longest in the country.
The Sunday opening time was 1pm to 6pm, with the customary church service taking place on the dodgem track at 7pm.
There were a couple of machine position changes that opened the ground up somewhat.
Duncan Rogers, spokesman for the lessee, Mrs Ann Rogers Sons and Daughters, said the family were pleased with how things had gone.
Both Friday and Saturday’s business were quoted as steady.

The lessee’s dodgems were committed to an event in Bristol, which paved the way for Thomas Jones’ track to take the honours.
Joining them at the top end of the ground were Duncan Rogers’ Dance Master waltzer and Joseph Danter’s Twister Twist and City Limits Miami.
At the main road end of the ground David Rogers Jnr’s Meteorite Round Up changed position, and the final big ride was James Rogers’ Matterhorn.
In support were Natalie Guy’s Toon Town fun house, Harrison Rogers’ Rolla Ghoster ghost train and Lesley Danter Jnr’s slip.
Providing juveniles, games and catering were:
- Steven Asquith
- Paul Danter

- Sheldon Stokes

- Steve and ‘Lena’ Haines (daughter and son-in-law of the late Ron and Lily Taylor).
World’s Fair called in on the Sunday afternoon when a steady flow of visitors were enjoying their Sunday afternoon out.
From Frampton, the Showmen were off to Bank Holiday fairs and events at Great Dorset Steam Fair, Pershore and Hawkesbury Upton among other places.
