A Wantage-based retailer of vintage memorabilia played host to a community gathering celebrating all things collectable last month.
The event drew large crowds to the Silver Band Hall, where attendees were treated to an array of attractions suitable for all ages.
Among the highlights was a towering recreation of the iconic Star Wars infantry soldier, which proved particularly popular with younger visitors.
Additional entertainment included professional face painting services and a performing conjurer who kept audiences captivated throughout the afternoon.
Organisers expressed their gratitude to everyone who supported the occasion, describing the turnout as phenomenal in comments posted online.
The event was deemed a tremendous success, with plans already underway to stage a similar gathering in the future.
Several independent traders contributed to the festive atmosphere.
These included purveyors of nostalgic playthings, a seller of storybooks, a musical performer providing catering services, artisan gelato makers, a confectionery specialist, a vendor of vintage items, and a representative from the Star Wars costuming community.
Local entrepreneurs offering various goods and services rounded out the commercial offerings available to guests.
The gathering attracted positive feedback from participants, with both traders and members of the public sharing enthusiastic reactions across social platforms in the days following the event.
