CROWDS flocked to Upton Memorial Hall on Saturday to snap up bargains at a craft fair.

Among the items on offer were jewellery, candles and toys.

The fair was one of two yearly events held in the town by the Three Shires Craft Guild, which has 27 members from Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

Chairman Joan Strong said about 200 people had turned out for the fair and it had been a great success.

"It went very well, we had quite a lot of visitors," she said. "I don't think we've ever had a bad one in Upton."

The guild's next event in Upton will be a three-day fair at the Memorial Hall from March 26 to 28.
