HUNDREDS of hungry people flocked to Bridgwater Town Hall and Angel Place Shopping Centre for the fantastic Food and Drink Festival.

On Saturday 70 traders packed into the Town Hall to offer a wide variety of culinary delights while entertainment including live music was put on Angel Place.

There were also free cookery workshops for youngsters and organiser Paul Russell said the day was a great success.

"This was the third time we have run this event and it was a really good day. Many of the traders have already shown interest in signing up to take part again next year," Mr Russell said.

"The footfall was slightly up on last year and some of the money raised will go toward British Flag Carnival Club."

Mr Russell wanted to thank Puxton Park, the Bridgwater Town Team, Angel Place Shopping Centre and Reflections for helping to make the day a success.
