YOUNGSTERS held on tight and screamed on this exciting ride at the Witney Feast funfair.

The 15-year-olds were among those enjoying the fun at the annual celebration.

The two-day event, which started at The Leys recreation ground on Monday, included the fun fair, and live music.

The fair dates back to 1243 and is now in its 771st year. Enjoying the bumpy Tagada ride were, from left, Emily Doyle, Jenifer Rowland, Jennifer Edwards, Kieran Duffy, Beth Partlett, Jessica Butler-Miles, Charlie Manson, and James Hanson, above, all aged 15 and from the Witney area.

Fair organiser Emily Wilson said: “It’s been very successful so far and thousands came along on Monday – the weather has been very kind to us.”

On Sunday, the Rev Toby Wright, of St Mary’s Church, led the 50th carousel church service at the fairground to get the fair under way.
