CROWDS of people gathered to enjoy a whole host of entertainment as part of the Five Valleys summer fete.

People enjoyed a variety of family-oriented fun at the free-to-attend event, held at the popular Stroud-based shopping centre on Friday, August 23.

Visitors were entertained by Punch and Judy shows throughout the day, enjoyed free face painting and balloon modelling, traditional side stall games, candyfloss and sweets, plus a tombola which raised money for the Dransfield Foundation and included some incredible prizes that were kindly donated by businesses based in Five Valleys.
