ST Swithun's Patronal Festival, in Pyworthy, was a very special weekend, with many people supporting their local church.

The children of Pyworthy Primary School made a grand effort entering the art competition, producing paintings and drawings within the theme of 'pirates'.

The judges, Janet Grant and David Robinson, had a very hard time judging them all.
