There will be fun for all the family when Rochford welcomes visitors to its May Fair.

It will held on May 2 from 11am and the day's entertainment will have a 20s theme.

The music will be provided by the Liberty Hall Stompers and youngsters from Doggetts County Primary School will be dancing around the May Pole in Market Square.

For children there will be a bouncy castle and steam train rides around the reservoir near the Freight House, and mums and dads will have the chance to tour around the Old House in South Street, now the offices of Rochford District Council.

There will also be stalls, a craft fair at the Freight House in Bradley Way and a classic car display.

Sandwiches, cakes, ploughman's lunches and drinks will also be available from the WI Hall in West Street.
