MORE than 600 people squeezed into the Potters Bar United Reformed Church for the Darkes Fayre.

The annual attraction last Saturday was again a colourful and popular event – and raised more than �8,000 for the church’s work in the community.

Opened by Hertsmere deputy mayor Peter Knell, the fair incorporated a new layout to better accommodate a larger refreshment.

And, as usual, Father Christmas was a special guest, meeting youngsters in his grotto.

Our photographer Casey Gutteridge was also among those in attendance.
