Organised by Banbury Town Council, the event aimed to bring the community together to raise money for Mayor Fiaz Ahmed’s two chosen charities for the year, Dogs for Good and Katharine House Hospice.

Attendees, young and old, dressed in their finest attire and enjoyed an afternoon of music, dancing, and a selection of teas and cakes.

Banbury Mayor Fiaz Ahmed said: "This event truly showcased the strength and generosity of our community.
