St Mary's Church, in Yatton, threw open its doors for two days of entertainment.

Organiser Val Dickens said: "We had a good mix of people attend and lots were interested in the bell-ringing stall which also controlled the tower tours - again many people did the climb up to the turret, the views would have been amazing after the rain.
"The flowers were totally amazing and the theme was Yatton organisations."
