An event showcasing wedding dresses through the decades will take place at a church near Witney next weekend.

The exhibition will take place at St Denys Church Northmoor on Saturday, September 14 from 10am until 4pm and Sunday, September 15 from noon until 4pm.

There will be over 35 wedding dresses on display dating back to the war as well as a vintage jewellery sale.

Denise Blackwell, one of the organisers of the event, said she is hoping the event will raise the profile of the 13th-century church.

The event will raise money to bring the building up to date with running water, a toilet and some catering facilities.

Entry is free but "donations are welcome".

Ms Blackwell said: "It will be good to provide a slightly more modern and very stunning building for the community to benefit from in the future.

"We are hoping to make a good start in raising money and awareness through running this event."
