THERE was all the fun of the medieval fair in Kendal on Bank Holiday Monday as thousands of visitors flooded in to the 14th annual market.
A record number of stalls attracted plenty of families, and many of the stallholders had entered into the spirit of the event by donning costumes with a distinctly medieval flavour.
The new Mayor of Kendal, Coun Tony Rothwell, opened proceedings by welcoming people and encouraging everyone to spend plenty of money.
"It's a better day than last year, there are more stalls and more people here," he told the crowds.
The strolling entertainers and performers proved as popular with the visitors as the 80-plus stalls.
Also proving to be a big draw was the team from High Bentham's Corio Raptor Centre.
