NOT even the wet weather could put a dampener on the fifth annual Fryern Funtasia.

The fair saw 6,000 people sample food, buy gifts and see amazing circus performances including fire stunts and juggling with knives.

There was even the chance to get up close and personal with some real live birds of prey from the Falconhigh display team.

Event organiser David Shute thanked Mike Hugh for the huge amount of work he put into organising the event which took place on bank holiday Monday in Fryern Recreation Ground, Chandler's Ford.

He added: "We have had a great response which has been really positive and it is a real community event which brings in a lot of people "
