Visitors enjoyed a fragrant, flower filled-church when Upwell Methodist Church held a two day festival.

The church opened its doors for the popular festival which this year had the theme children’s books.

There were around 20 displays and in addition local people held an open gardens event.

All of it was organised to raise money for church funds to help the roof fund.

There was live music in the church on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and on Saturday night was a talent show.

Performers for this included a magician, a female singer and accoustic guitar players.

But stars of the show were a church circuit band called Cosmic Veteran Players, who had them rocking in the aisles with a host of numbers ending with the Status Quo classic ‘Rocking all over the world’.

Money raised is yet to be totalled up but the talent show alone raised more than £300.
