The BEN Lynwood Summer Fete and Paul Finn Vintage and Classic Car Rally took place in glorious sunshine this weekend.

Visitors poured through the gates of Lynwood which is run by BEN, the UK's automotive industry charity. They enjoyed the presence of BEN's very special guest, Brian Blessed, soaked up the wonderful atmosphere while enjoying food, drink, ice-cream and a range of entertainment, from bowling to music by steel band Star Rhapsody. Stall holders delighted the visitors with books, beauty products and raffles. Guests also had the chance to pose for photographs with the Premiership Football Trophy which proved immensely popular.

Ray Diggins, BEN's Head of Marketing, said, "The Paul Finn Vintage Rally and Lynwood Summer Fete are a highlight of the summer calendar. We are delighted that everyone who took part had such a good time and that we raised such an impressive amount of money for BEN is a fabulous bonus! We would like to thank our headline sponsors, Camberley Auto Factors for their invaluable support. And of course, our special guest of honour Brian Blessed who gave so generously of his time."
