The Mayor and Mayoress of Weston Mike and Margaret Lyall welcomed dozens of children to a party at the town’s museum on Saturday.

Children enjoyed getting arty at a crafts table and trying to win in a traditional game of snakes and ladders.

There was also entertainment from Martin Thomas and food served from Clara’s Café.

The museum lent its soft play toys to the mayor for the event and music filled the main hall for other party games.
