The annual event was held in the Church of the Good Shepherd in Coldharbour Road and among the top attractions of the day was a petting farm.
Market co-ordinator Val Mussett said the petting farm was as big a draw for the adults as it was for the children. There were donkeys, geese, goats, pigs, rabbits, lambs and a duck with ducklings.
There were plenty of other attractions on the day and everything had an Ambridge theme — home of radio soap The Archers. The market was even opened by one of The Archers actors, Tamsin Gregg, via a satellite link up.
Tamsin talked about being  in The Archers and praised the organisers of the day for the charities chosen to benefit from the market. Profits are to be divided between the Woking branch of the Alzheimer’s Society; Children in Distress — a children’s hospice in Romania; and The Kajiado Project, which is helping to build a school for Masai children in Kenya
