THE razzmatazz returned to a West Somerset village at the weekend as Porlock Carnival was back.
There were plenty of floats and walking entries in the first carnival in three years due to the pandemic.
Saturday's (September 3) fun kicked off with stiltwalkers, a jazz band, facepainting. Punch and Judy and the Wellington Majorettes.
The procession from the main car park was led by the village crier, followed by the local fire brigade, the carnival queen and princesses and several colourful floats and groups.
The entertainment continued in the village hall, where there was a children's disco, ahead of the presentation of cups and rosettes.
Money raised at the event will be shared between local charities and good causes.
