IT was 'one of the highlights of the year' as church-goers and community members gathered for an autumn fair. 

St Martin's Church on London Road hosted its annual autumn event on Saturday (November 16). 

The church was decorated with autumn leaves and was full of activities for the guests, with cash raised going towards the church's community work. 

The fun lasted for three hours and featured a cake stall full of homemade treats donated by the congregation.

Val Hall, who has been singing in the church choir for over 30 years, was among those who operated the cake stall. 

She told the Worcester News: "The day has been nice and lively, there were a lot of smiley faces and plenty of interest. 

"We have a lovely community here, today has been enjoyed by church regulars and those who have never been here before, everyone is welcome and everyone has a good time."

Other stalls at the fair included a tombola where lucky winners could get there hands on treats such as chocolates, beers, bottles of wine, biscuits, jam and soup. 

The kitchen was open where people could get some hot food, a bread roll and a drink. 

The 16th Worcester Scouts were also there fundraising for a new tent by selling items such as rainbow sun catchers and handmade key rings as well as asking people to guess the name of their toy dog for the chance to win a prize. 

The church also welcomed the girl guides, who had their own stall offering plenty of games and activities for youngsters to take part in. 

The forest church stall offered youngsters the chance to pick their favourite laminated leaf, learn about it and hang it up on a special tree. 

And there was a stall selling handmade Christmas carders and crackers. 

Church rector Rev Peter Hart said: "This is our third year running this fair and its one of the highlight's of the year. 

"This event has gone very well and I'm really pleased, what has made me most happy was that there is a complete mix of people here, meaning we really bring people together."
