The event, which has a 'sustainable' theme, was held at the Veolia Household Recycling Centre on Faraday Drive, Bridgnorth, with everything from homemade Christmas decorations to up-cycled jewellery on sale.

Sarah Maythorne, Veolia's community engagement officer, said she was thrilled at the response.

She said: "We were overwhelmed by the turnout and had nearly 600 visitors attend throughout the day.

"There were over 25 stalls with amazing gifts, that were either upcycled, recycled, handmade or locally produced. We are always striving to get Shropshire residents to think about recycling and our fair seems to have helped do that."
