THE pitter patter of the rain did little to dampen the Potwalloping Festival at Westward Ho! this Bank Holiday weekend!

Thousands of locals and holiday-makers from all over the UK turned out for the three-day festival that according to organisers is now the second biggest festival in Torridge behind the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Bideford.

The event had a special green theme this year, with stall holders encouraged to uses a little packaging as possible and special bins erected to help festival-goers to separate their waste responsibly. Even the children’s fancy dress parade on Monday had a re-cycling theme, with special workshops held during the weekend to help youngsters create an assortment of eco-kind costumes.
