Hosted by Andrew and Janet Smalley, the event was held at the farm in the pretty village of Dunsop Bridge.

People travelled from far and wide to support the LEAF Open Farm Sunday and raised a tremendous £750 to be split between the North West Air Ambulance and St Catherine's Hospice - charities close to the couple's hearts.
