It was only the second Eat Burnham festival to be held in the town since 2019 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Stall holders including Creamberry Artisan Homemade Sweets, Glebe Farm Fruit Corner, Bubblees Preserves and Flapjackery sold their tasty goods to hungry customers.

An event spokesman said: "It was proper autumnal and almost as many bobble hats as face masks.

"It was great to see the town centre buzzing and some seasonal delights on offer."
