STAFF at a children’s charity in Froxfield definitely aren’t feeling fleeced after a village party raised £1,600.

Nearly 500 people enjoyed a day of sheep racing, live music, children’s entertainment, street food and crafts at the annual Stroud Revels event on Saturday.

Proceeds from this year’s party – which was jointly organised by hosts, Andrew and Angharad Snow and the Stroud Village Hall and Residents Association – will go to the Oaks Special Needs Playscheme.

It began with a Old Dairy Farm Nursery graduation party in the craft tent with further highlights including performances by Magic Wanda, Isla Fanshawe’s band and Fabulous Fugg.
