Featuring rifle shooting, climbing tower, abseiling, archery and trapeze activities, families had a rooting-tooting good time on Saturday, July 6, at Watersfield, near Pulborough.

For a taste of the old west market, there were many craft stalls where you could pick up a unique gift, or a yummy treat. You could even see a genuine blacksmith hard at work.
