It is all part of Peter Tavy Village Fayre, which takes place in the village hall and chapel grounds on Monday August 29, starting at 2.30pm.

The event also includes a variety of stalls selling home-made and garden produce, as well as bargains and second-hand books

The eighth annual 'Peter Tavy Plod' foot race takes place at 3pm and covers a mile and a half. For more details, contact Dave Chanter on 01822 810598.

The event ends with a pasties and quiz evening in the village hall.

The fayre raises funds for the hall, church and chapel.
