A Sandbach church has recreated the fascinating tale of a legendary Welsh dragon to help raise funds.

Members of Elworth Methodist Church in Station Road have been holding a three-day dragon event based on the story of the Moston dragon.

Rumour has it that the story of St George & The Dragon and the poem 'The Dragon Of Moston' is based on the dragon.

The church has created a dragon display telling the story as well as offering a dragon quiz and even a special menu with red dragon soup.

And they are hoping as many people as possible, including children, will come along to the event before it closes tomorrow (Saturday.)

Lay leader, Jean Ellershaw (pictured below) said: "We have some very talented members of the congregation who have come up with all sorts of ideas.

"The display is a combination of everyone's work and we're delighted with how it's turned out.

"We try and do things which are a little bit different and this has really worked. We've even got dragon fruit!"

A giant red dragon is outside greeting visitors to the display while a church hall is full of dragons of every description.

There's folded paper dragons, a patchwork quilt with dragons, a Chinese dragon and much more.

The event takes place from 10 am until 3 pm tomorrow (Saturday) and refreshments are available including cakes and a 'dragon' inspired lunch.
