Throughout the day, visitors could enjoy stalls, musicians and entertainment until the parade at 4pm.
One of the highlights of the Sheepfair is the Parade featuring the emergency services, classic and vintage vehicles, a marching band, floats and walking groups.
Everyone was invited to take part, including individuals, families, friends community groups and businesses. Those walking the parade were encouraged to dress up - either in the theme of 'The Roaring Twenties' or something of their choice.
