THOUSANDS of visitors flocked to Cobham Hall for the eighth annual Medway Craft Show.

According to the organiser, Living Heritage Crafts, the event was a success despite the rain, with more than 80 exhibitors showing their wares.

Marjorie Needham of Living Heritage said: "It was a wonderful weekend."

She added: "Most people came to find unusual Christmas gifts which they wouldn't be able to get anywhere else."

The stalls were set up in marquees in the grounds of the hall on Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21.
