VISITORS from all across the south of England enjoyed a new perspective of the world in miniature at a dolls' house fair in Marlborough.

More than 800 people flocked to the 15th annual fair organised by collectors at the town hall.

A donation from organiser Peter Woods, and his son and daughter-in-law Andrew and Vanessa Hatton-Woods, was handed to the Cancer Research Campaign.

Charity supporters also had a stall which raised more than £1,300.

Mr Woods, whose son runs a dolls' house and miniatures business in Dorchester, Dorset, said: "The show is limited only by the size of the town hall.

"For most of the day it was packed out to capacity," he said.

Exhibitors displayed dolls' houses and every imaginable extra down to reproduction antique miniature furniture, and there were also shops including a floristry, and a miniature version of gardenware.

Visitors travelled considerable distance to the fair, which is now regarded as one of the premiere events of its kind in the country.

"We had one coach party come all the way from Cardiff," said Mr Woods who took over running the fair as a commercial enterprise three years ago.
