Donkeys took centre stage as crowds headed to Stubbington Recreation Ground for the annual Stubbington Fayre and Donkey Derby.

The Bank Holiday event returned on August 31, bringing together families and visitors for an afternoon of entertainment, stalls and the traditional donkey racing.

Organised by Crofton Lions Club, the popular community event has become a fixture in the local calendar, with this year’s fayre once again attracting a strong turnout.

The event was held at Stubbington Recreation Ground, with organisers and participants making the most of the cloudy but still warm weather.

The annual event also raises money for local charity causes through Crofton Lions.
