THERE was much excitement as the Madley Food and Craft Festival kicked off on September 27.

It was a very successful event with over 18 different exhibitors.

There was also a buzzing pop-up cafe and activities for the children in attendance.

The grand total of £750 was raised for church funds and the Fund Raising Committee would like to thank everyone who came, exhibited or helped in anyway. Next year's event is planned for September 19, 2015, please contact madleyevents@hotmail.com to register details or express an interest.
