Hundreds of local people were able to enjoy the Acomb Green fair yesterday with falconry displays, stalls, and dog competitions.

Fortunately the rain which had stopped previous events on the Green held off for most of the afternoon.

Well done to the Friends of Acomb Green for putting on the event which draws together people in Acomb to see the beauty of what is on their doostep, and there were even the lovely church bells from St Stephen’s to enjoy with the live music that was being performed by local artists (young and old).
