IT was all the fun of the Craft Fair in Danson Park last week when hundreds of people visited the annual craft and country show.

The popular event saw several stalls offering residents the chance to enjoy a host of different things, from falcon-flying to traditional cider-making.

The weekend attracted many families from all over south-east London who were entertained by a variety of acts, including a host of tribute bands.

On Friday night, the crowd was treated to True Britney, a Britney Spears tribute act, Boys Only appeared on Saturday, singing songs by pop bands such as 5ive and Westlife.

The final act on Sunday was lookalike band Near'Say who impersonate hit band Hear'Say, made famous on television show Popstars.

A spokesman for the organisers, Oakleigh Leisure Limited, said: “We have seen the event grow over the nine years it has been running and we were lucky the rain held off.

“Everyone had a good time but it was not difficult considering the variety of things to look at with the 150 stalls which were set up.”
