Arena events including Dancephaze, Tigers Children's Motorcycle Display Team and the Dog and Duck Show entertained the crowd.

There was also a marquee housing a beer tent, craft sellers and a Lions tea stall selling homemade cakes.

Meanwhile, the Lions tombola stall offered 390 prizes, all donated by the public, and sold out in less than three hours, raking in £561 of profit for the charity.

The fair also featured various trade stalls, charity stands selling their goods, and Big Top Mania, which engaged attendees with free circus skill lessons.

The ARC pitched in with car parking, while family and friends of Lions members lent a hand around the fair and with the clean-up following the event.

After months of planning, the Treacle Fair received lots of positive feedback from people when exiting.
