Ten days of country music in Somerset has helped raise more than £3,000 for charity.
The funds were collected during country and western-themed music breaks held at Unity Beach in Brean, held in support of St Margaret’s Hospice.
Guests took part in nightly raffles and auctions, with all proceeds going to the Somerset-based charity.
Sara Davis from Unity Beach said: "The cowboys and westerners who come to our country music festival always 'adopt' a charity local to the area.
"This year at Unity Beach we have our own charity, St Margaret's Hospice, so that is where all the money raised is going and, as always, everyone was very generous."
St Margaret’s Hospice provides care and support to patients and families across Somerset, with hubs in Taunton and Yeovil and 31 charity shops throughout the county.
One of the standout auction items was a handmade 1990s shirt created by Garth Brooks’ seamstress.

The auction took place at Unity Beach’s Wonky Donkey pub, which hosted fundraising events each evening during the festival.
Other auction items included a 10-day holiday, a weekend break, a coffee machine, and a double air fryer.
Ms Davis credited festival partners Spirit of the Old West and their chair, Dan Luczak, for helping curate the annual event.
The festivals are set to return to Unity Beach in 2027, and the dates are due to be released soon.
