“Events like these make our village such a wonderful place to live."
The village of Gretton came alive at the weekend (September 9) as residents and visitors alike gathered for a day of treasure hunting, community spirit and fun at a garage and garden sale.
The event turned out to be a resounding success, showcasing the vibrancy and camaraderie of the community.
The first Gretton Garage & Garden Sale was a must-attend event for bargain hunters and gardening enthusiasts.
Supported by more 60 residences offering an array of vintage finds, unique collectables and stunning plants on display, it was a day of discovery and delight for hundreds of visitors of all ages.
Event organiser, Bridget Haller, said: "We're thrilled with the overwhelming turnout and support for the inaugural Gretton Garage & Garden Sale.
“Seeing our community come together and celebrate the spirit of sharing and giving is heart-warming. We want to thank all our vendors, volunteers and visitors for making this event a huge success."
Local resident Peter McGowan, who attended the event, said: "The Gretton Garage & Garden Sale was a highlight of the year for me.
“I found some unique items for my home, enjoyed delicious food and caught up with friends I hadn't seen in a while. Events like these make our village such a wonderful place to live."
The organisers are already planning to repeat this event and make it a tradition in the years to come and it promises an even bigger and better event in 2024.
