As many as 300 shoppers enjoyed a craft fair in Witham yesterday.

It was the first time Fayre Trade Events had staged an event in the town, having already set up shop in Chelmsford, Rayleigh and Southend in the past.

Witham Public Hall in Collingwood Road was a hive of activity with 30 stalls selling sweets, jewellery, knitting, art and cakes.
