Cuckoo Fayre returns to Downton after two year hiatus
Popular event returns to Wiltshire village

Three hundred stalls offering everything from handmade crafts to locally produced gin!
The event also sees traditional maypole and Morris dancing and performances from Downton Community Choir and Primary School Choir.
It officially opens at 10am with the crowning of the cuckoo princess, this year that honour goes to teenager Olivia Wordley.
A procession will take place at 1045am from The Bull Hotel to the Maypole where the first of four performances from the Forest School of Dance takes place.
Downton Community Pre-School will be holding their Duck Race at 3pm, it's one of many local organisations that rely on the event to raise much needed funds.
