Scores of people attended the community café and information event which was put on by Love Banwell, the parish council and 1st Banwell Scouts to bring villagers together.

Cyclists took along their bikes so they could have them marked by police officers.

Avon and Somerset police also gave a road safety talk for young cyclists.

People keen to learn first aid could take advantage of free training and talks, including a defibrillator demonstration.
