It's been revealed that the Berwick St John Country Fair has raised £100,000 for the Stars Appeal.

The Fayre itself, held from 13th to 15th September, raised £96,983.99, before a £20 donation was made during the presentation on Sunday (1st December).

Following that, an anonymous donation of £3,000 was made to take the total up to £100k.

The bi-annual event saw steam engines, military vehicles and various exhibits brought to the event, helping raise the enormous total.

The cash is a major step towards the Salisbury District Hospital charity as it aims to raise £1million in 2024.

In a post on Facebook the Fayre's committee said: "THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored and helped at the Country Fayre this year!! We cannot believe this amazing total!!"
