Belford Development Trust organised the fair and trustee, Fiona Renner-Thompson told the Advertiser: "It went exceptionally well. The weather held out and there was a brilliant atmosphere, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
"The village was constantly busy, and the Belford Hidden History Exhibition in the bank building was busy all the time."
The exhibition, which was opened on Saturday by Lord Walton of Detchant, who also gave an impromptu rendition of The Laidley Worm, charts the history of the village, and also includes a wedding dress from 1907 and a ballgown and shoes from 1887, used at a ball to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
Also on display are details of lost houses, such as Haggerston before it was split up, and stories from people who lived and worked in the area over the centuries.
"People were fascinated by it," added Fiona, "there are some gorgeous, gorgeous dresses and journal articles from a gamekeeper who talks about Belford at the turn of the century.
"There was an excellent response from the public for stories and exhibits and we hope the exhibiton will bring in tourists to the village. If it is a success we may try to run it again next year, and there is that need for a local archive."
At the summer fair there was also the Belford Players performing their own version of The Laidley Worm of Spindlestone, which was preceeded by a procession through the village with old and young alike dressed up to for the occasion in period dress.
The village orchestra also played a selection of traditional tunes and there was a variety of items for sale on the table top sale and in the Cub's bric-a-brac shop.
The exhibition is open throughout July and August, but is closed on Mondays.
