AN art and craft exhibition held in Broughton raised nearly £900 for village hall funds.

Artists and crafts people within a six mile radius were invited to exhibit their work and organisers have thanked them for their efforts.

Janine Hunt, secretary of Broughton Village Hall management committee, said: "The exhibition was great, in spite of the appalling weather. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who turned out."

Around £3,500 worth of goods were sold, raising £873 for the hall.
