More than 80 guests attended an annual farming conference and tucked into organic produce.

The event was organised to give farmers a chance to talk about current issues and listen to expert guest speakers, including National Farmers' Union and Lloyds TSB representatives.

Chichester district councillor Maureen Elliott said: "There are a high number of farmers in the district and we feel it is important to offer them support and advice.

"This annual event brings them together to find out the latest information."

Local produce was on offer during the event, which was held at The Angel Hotel, Midhurst.
