An arts, crafts and gifts fair raised £2,300 for a Cumbrian charity.
The free event, which showcased works from artists and craftspeople from the north of the county, raised the cash for the Northern Fells Group.
More than 300 visitors attended the two-day fair at Mungrisdale Village Hall. The pop-up café sold more than 200 bacon butties as well as gallons of soup and tea and a huge choice of homemade cakes which were all donated. The cafe was run by a team of volunteers.
Organiser Philippa Groves said: “It was a massive success. We had an amazing array of arts, crafts and gifts on offer and some new faces for 2023, all the exhibitors were very happy with their sales and thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with each other.
“I’d like to say thanks to family and friends who supported me over the weekend as without their help none of it would have happened.
“And a massive thanks to the village hall committee who kindly waived the hall hire fee to support this great community event.”
The Northern Fells Group serves 3,700 residents spread over 200 square miles of rural and often remote areas of the north of Cumbria.
The organisation plays a vital role maintaining community life in a sparsely populated region of the county where many live in isolated areas.
