Weymouth's iconic Fayre in the Square was back in full swing again this year.

Crowds poured onto the harbour and into Hope Square as the end-of-spring two-day extravaganza returned with music and stalls galore.

The event, which was held on Saturday and Sunday, is organised by the Rotary Club of Weymouth. It features live music and a variety of stalls lining Trinity Road and other entertainment.

A range of bands, singers and dancers took to the stage in Hope Square including WOW Youth Theatre and The Leggomen.

Stephen Cooper from Chippenham always catches the fayre with his grandkids. He said: "We come out every year. The fayre is on our calendar. We always make sure to walk around it as a family.

"It is great. Good fun for the family and there is something for everyone. Plus the weather is superb, long overdue."

Jay Roberts from Somerset used to live on Hope Square. She also attended with her family. She said: "It is a really good day. There is a nice community spirit here today.

"I am looking forward to the live music, my mum was dancing along to it already."

The event is organised by the Rotary Club of Weymouth and is their biggest fundraiser of the year - usually bringing in more than £15,000.

David Langridge the President of the Rotary Club of Weymouth said: "We are very lucky we have excellent weather this whole weekend.

"We have been running this event since 2014, and all the money raised will be donated to local charities and causes.

"Generally the event raises around £16,000. Last year it raised £20,000.

"Thank you very much to this year's sponsors; Waterside Holiday Group, Albert Goodman Chartered Accountants and WeAreWeymouth."

The net proceeds of the Fayre in the Square - which is sponsored by a number of local businesses - will go towards supporting local and locally-based charities and good uses.
