Thousands flocked to the Tadley Treacle Fair, enjoying a day of sunshine and lively entertainment.

The event, which took place on Sunday, May 31, was organised by the Loddon Valley Lions Club and is known as Tadley's biggest family event.

Months of meticulous planning culminated in a day filled with vibrant activities, including birds of prey demonstrations, dinosaur shows and dance performances by local children from Dance Faze.

The fair also featured a vintage car section and the popular Whittle funfair.

Craft stalls, a Lions tombola, coconut shy and a tea tent were bustling with activity throughout the day.

The Long Dog Brewery beer tent was particularly popular, with many attendees enjoying a drink under the sun while watching the arena acts.

The Loddon Valley Lions Club was supported by other Lions groups and local residents in running the event.

Proceeds from the fair will be distributed to various organisations later this year, with groups invited to apply for funding for their projects.

The Loddon Valley Lions Club expressed gratitude to all attendees and helpers, acknowledging that the event couldn't happen without their support.
