Tradition is the order of the day when the village of Chelmarsh, on the Highley Road out of Bridgnorth, hosts its annual fete on Saturday 13 July from 2pm until 5.30pm.

There will also be entertainment throughout the afternoon with a brass band, Morris dancers, and a clown and juggler, and the event is complete with homemade cakes and teas.
