MUSIC and dancing, interrupted by the occasional whistle of a model steam train and the screams of Punch and Judy, will enliven the lawns of the medieval Hospital of St Cross in Winchester on Saturday.

The St Cross Fete returns as it has most years since 1868. It is to be opened by the Master of St Cross, the Rev Reg Sweet.

There will be stalls and games, train rides, and entertainment provided by the Winchester Morris Men and 1st Chandler’s Ford Boys’ Brigade Band.

Teas, home-made cakes and ice-cream will be available.

Author Patrick Gale will be signing copies of his latest books.

Funds raised will go to the church at St Cross and Winchester & District Home- Start.

Gates open at 2pm and free car parking is available.

Entry costs £2.50 for adults, children (under 18/in full time education) free.
