More than 1,000 people attended The Oxford Times' third annual food and craft fair at the weekend.

Rooms on three floors of the Four Pillars Hotel at Sandford on Thames were filled with 50 stalls displaying all types of craft for the fair, organised by the Oxford Mail's sister paper.

It was the perfect venue for Christmas shoppers, and the full car park showed people taking full advantage of it.

Most of the stallholders were local businesses and producers.

On sale was everything from cakes, meat and fine wines to bags, ties and glassware.

Cosmetics, china, books, chocolates, spices and clothes were also on sale.

Organiser Rachel Walsh-Grant said: "There has been an encouraging number of visitors and people have been very pleased with what was on sale.

"Our luxury Christmas hamper raffle was well patronised and we have raised several hundred pounds for the Oxford Children's Hospital Campaign appeal being supported by our newspapers."

Work is already starting on next year's fair.
