Although it wasn't exactly sunny, the weather stayed dry for the West Meon church fete on Saturday.
The annual event made a record sum of around £5,500, which will go towards the village's St John's Church funds.
Held in the beautiful grounds of West Meon House, there were a huge variety of games and stalls for people to enjoy, along with a fire engine on display.
There was plenty of fun for children of all ages, including a bouncy slide, balloon modelling and an obstacle course.
Fun games such as Splat the Rat, Sponge in the Stocks and Find the Ferret proved particularly popular and a jazz band, which played throughout the afternoon, added to the happy atmosphere.
One of the organisers, Katie Jacobs, said: "We were very lucky the rain held off all afternoon, and the fete was very busy.
"Everyone had a great time – and from preliminary counting, we believe we have raised a record sum this year."
