Among those attending included the BBC's Robert Hall, who compered the event, and Roger Johnson. On a rare dry afternoon, Steve took his turn in Ye Easton Stocks, where he cooled off courtesy of wet sponges thrown by delighted onlookers, including his daughter Emily.
He said: "I've been coming here for about eight years now and I don't think it has ever rained."
With activities including shove ha'penny, fairground rides, go-karting and a bouncy castle, the afternoon is expected to have raised over £6000 for the village church, the hall and the cricket club.
There were also displays of rare cars, motorbikes and a helicopter.
Steve added: "It's a great village event and virtually everyone is involved in some way in making it happen, which is why it's such a success."
