The famous, traditional village fete on Saturday 16th September was held in the lovely setting of Trotton Place, with the kind permission of the owners, and included children's games, craft, garden, home produce, bric-a-brac, tombola and other stands, plus a fabulous tea tent with home-made cakes and cream teas.
The special attraction of the day was the oldest duck race in Sussex along the river Rother.
With the beautiful weather bringing out the crowds, hundreds supported the ducks as they raced towards the finish line.
