Over 2000 people descended onto a village this weekend to celebrate one of the county’s largest rural shows.

Visitors from as far as Suffolk and Cambridge joined Woodham Walter residents during Bell Meadow Day, last Sunday (30).

A dog display, fly fishing, country crafts, dog beauty contest, Dengie & Maldon bee keepers, an egg throwing contest, hog roast and a beer tent were just some of the attractions.

Bell Meadow Day vice chairman, David Still, said: “It was just great to see so many people engage in a family day out that’s like the kind I would go to as a kid."
