Thai boxing demonstrations, massage, food, music and traditional dance performances all featured during the Thai Culture and Food Festival held at Wat Buddharam Buddist Temple in Woodhouse on Sunday. A spokesman for the temple said the building is 170 years old but its roof is in need of repair - particularly with winter approaching.

“In order to keep our facilities open to public, it does unfortunately have a cost for maintenance and general up-keep of the building.”

To make a donation, phone 0113 2741927.
