THOUSANDS of people descened into a Vale village during the weekend as it hosted its annual Walkabout event.

Taking place on Sunday (May 4) and Bank Holiday Monday (May 5) more than 4,000 people attended the Cropthorne Walkabout which included a wide range of events.

Every year organisers and residents from the picturesque village open many of its spectacular village gardens to the public.

A popular annual event, attractions this year included classic cars, a local producers market, boat trips, a dogs show, morris




dancing and live music.

Richard Mumford, vice-chairman of the Cropthorne Walkabout committee, said: “Events like this always depend on the weather and this year the weather was superb.


“The car park was full and people turned out in their droves, it was lovely to see and there such a great atmopshere over the two days.”
