Hundreds of people flocked to Cookham Moor on Saturday for the return of the annual Village Fair.
A climbing wall, a bouncy assault course and a dog show were among the attractions at the event, which is now in its 30th year.
There were also a number of other four-legged guests including goats, sheep and Shetland ponies, for visitors to pet courtesy of Basil and Crew mobile farm.
Actor and playwright Richard James kept visitors entertained through his role as compere, which saw him wielding a megaphone for most of the day.
The event has been organised by 1st Cookham Scouts since 1982, when the first fair took place in the gardens of Holy Trinity Church.
After a few years it moved to the moor, and while the scouts still run it, it has been re-named Cookham Village Fair to allow others to join in too.
As many as 30 charities including Thames Valley Adventure Playground and SportsAble were represented at the event, with other organisations such as the National Trust and the Cookham Society also holding stalls.
