MORRIS men, golden retrievers and a pirate all rubbed shoulders at this year's Outwood Show.
Two thousand people packed the Lloyd Hall grounds on Saturday, to browse artisan food stalls, see traditional craftsmen at work and watch displays in the 'hay bale' arena.
The Rampant Rooster Morris Dancers and Southern Golden Retrievers Display team were the stars of the arena show, and military and vintage vehicles filled the fields to entertain visitors.
Pat Hewett, who helped to organise the event, said: "It was the best show ever. My feet aren't talking to me again yet, it was exhausting, but it was glorious too, absolutely glorious.
"It went superbly. We were blessed with the weather and it kept to our ideals of a traditional village country fair."
East Surrey MP Sam Gyimah led the parade from Outwood Common to the showground, on Brickfield Road, accompanied by morris dancers and military vehicles.
The show has grown so much organisers had to commandeer a section of the neighbouring field to host a show of military vehicles provided by Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society.
"It looked like the Army was on manoeuvres at one point," said Chris Yeldham, master of ceremonies for the second half of the day.
"The show has grown bigger every year and some people even signed up for next year before they even left this year's event."
Along with the traders and craftsmen, 14 charities were given free stalls at the event, which raises money for causes such as the Women's Institute and the Royal British Legion.
Joining the fair for the first time was a stall from Horley's Archway Theatre, complete with impersonator Jack Sparrow.
Mrs Hewett added: "It was a lovely successful country show.
"We get amazing volunteers from the village – without the volunteers we couldn't continue."
