SHOPPERS, stallholders, and the Easter Bunny made the most of the excellent weather on Saturday at Bridgwater Food & Drink Festival in the town centre.

There were over 60 stallholders and live entertainment in the town hall, High Street, and Fore Street.

Goodies on sale included artisan cheeses from Glastonbury, homemade brownies, craft beers, traditional puddings, and oven-baked pizzas.

There was also a hog roast and other hot food available for foodies. 

A spokesperson for the event said: "After six years of bad luck for the Bridgwater Food & Drink Festival, the sun finally came out for this event. 

"There was also a visit from the Easter bunny, who was definitely not camera shy and was enjoyed by all ages.  

"We would like to thank everyone for all their help and support on making the event a success." 

The next edition of Bridgwater Food & Drink Festival will take place on Saturday, June 18 between 9:30am and 3pm. 

There will also be events on August 27 and November 26.
