Thousands of people visited Wokingham on May Day Monday to enjoy the annual May Fair.

During the day, charities and community groups including Scouts, Guides and the Ollie Young Foundation raised money for their good causes.

And there was plenty of fun for all ages including the popular Lions road train, fairground rides and miniature golf.

Live entertainment included local singer Pauly Zarb and the Coombes CE Primary School.

It’s been really hard, but we’ve selected 12 pictures that help sum up all the fun of the fair – you’ll be able to find more in Friday’s Wokingham Paper.
