The Estcourt Methodist Churchyard was awash with stalls displaying colourful crafts and treats.
Shoppers browsed through the stalls, picking up homemade and one-of-a-kind goodies for a bargain price.

While the parents shopped, the children were kept entertained at a Kids Zone as well as a pottery painting class, both of which were busy with the constant flow of children.
