The market is a highlight in the Barkway calendar – it’s origins of the market can be traced back to 1270 – and has ran in its current form since 1977.

The event at Old Manor Farm was officially opened by county councillor Fiona Hill.

The organising committee’s Edwin Kilby said: “The market is run by a team of volunteers and overseen this year by Nicola Cook, our new market co-ordinator.

“Nicola came forward after reading an appeal on our Facebook page, and she did a fantastic job pulling together our event.”

There were more than 120 stalls selling antiques, plants, clothing, food, books and crafts and refreshments.

Attractions included a church tour by villager Nicholas Tufton, music by Royston Town Band, a display from the Raptor Foundation and a miniature steam railway provided by The Royston and District Model Engineering Society.

Cash raised at the market is donated to good causes in the community.
