This year's fair was themed on rainbows and scarecrows, with an array of scarecrows created by pupils at Peaslake School.
Christine Harrison, head of the Peaslake Fair Committee, said: "I'm just so pleased the weather stayed fine for us after all the rain we've had.
"Four months' worth of hard work paid off with an enjoyable fair that we hope everyone else enjoyed as much as us."
Activities and stalls included the Apex jazz band, a Punch and Judy show and classic car show with the oldest car dating back to 1923.
Mrs Harrison added: "I'm hoping to exceed our total of nearly £14,000 last year."
The money, which is still being totalled, will be split between Peaslake School, the village's memorial hall and various village organisations.
