Crowds gathered for an annual street party in Oxford that started around 30 years ago.

More than 40 stalls featured in the Jericho Street Fair on Saturday (June 8) in Canal Street near the community centre and acted as the centrepiece of three days of festival activities starting on Friday (June 7) and finishing on Sunday (June 9).

The weekend started with live music on Friday at St Barnabas Church before finishing on Sunday with the Run Jericho and with a Festival Mass at the church on Sunday afternoon.

The Run Jericho event raised £15,000 for St Barnabas School, a primary school on Hart Street.

The festivities were organised by the Jericho Community Association, chaired by Charlotte Christie.
