Families turned out to browse, shop and socialise a market which raised just over a thousand pounds on Saturday.

St Mary’s Church Spring Market raised money to fund the hotly anticipated Ewell Village Fair on July 13.

Books, bric-a-brac, jewellery and other goods went on sale at St Mary's Church Hall, London Road, Ewell.

Organiser Nigel Bird said as well as raising money, the market was a wonderful chance to meet people through the church.

Mr Bird said: “It was lovely. There was a super atmosphere."

He added: "The proceeds of the Spring Market help to fund the setting up of Ewell Village Fair, a day out for the whole family in the grounds of Glyn House." 

"Ultimately all funds raised are used to support the work of St Mary's, Ewell Parish Church.

"The cakes sold out shortly before the end and some of the remaining plants were sold after church on Sunday."
