THE 32nd Cawood Craft Festival made a profit of £17,500, just £300 short of the record amount raised at a previous event.

The festival was held over the August bank holiday weekend and attracted stall holders and visitors from all over Yorkshire.

The village church received a donation of £14,000 from the profits with a further £2,000 being presented to Martin House Hospice and remainder going into the festival contingency fund for future use.
