A LARGE European eagle owl called Bryher was one of the main attractions at the second SWISH (South-West in Search of Harmony) community event held in Holsworthy's Memorial Hall on Saturday, November 16.

Organised to raise money for North Devon Hospice, Children's Hospice South-West, the Devon Air Ambulance and Porfell Animal Sanctuary, it was the idea of Lisa Vincent and friends.

Initially intended to be an inter-faith fair to promote harmony between a variety of faiths, the scope of the event was widened to include therapists, beauticians and a variety of treatments for mind and body.
