SPLASHES of colour brightened up the streets of Culham at the weekend, with 600 metres of decorations.

Villagers, including community group Ladies of Culham, gathered for the Culham Show on Saturday.

The village was decorated throughout after residents created more than half a kilometre of bunting.

Ladies of Culham group member Ellie Denno, 31, said: “It’s been a real kind of village event that lots of people have got involved with and helped out. It’s been really lovely.

“It makes for a good community feel and you get to know your neighbours and people around you which is always important.”

The family event took place between 1pm and 6pm on Culham Village Playing Field, in The Glebe.

Residents had rallied together for the last three weeks to fashion 600 metres of bunting in time for their weekend village fair.

Visitors enjoyed a variety of stalls, fair rides, a bouncy castle, raffle and games.

A barbeque, live music and a bar were also on offer for villagers.

Jo Soddy, 37, visited the event with son Olivier, five, and daughter Lucie, two.

She said: “I thought it was lovely. We have just moved to the area so it was completely new.

“I was really impressed by the organisation of it.

“I loved the daytime fireworks and the kids loved it.”
