The organisers of Weston's Party in the Park event have said that this year's return was its busiest event ever.

Taking place in Ashcombe Park, the weather played nice as nearly 2,000 guests attended the event, free of charge.

Ade Bowen planned the vent and he told the Mercury that he was keen to include as many activities as possible.

Mr Bowen said: "This was the biggest event yet.

"I know that the families attending appreciated something exciting to do in Weston with free entry and as this was the only one this year, we packed as much as we could into it.”

Around 1,900 people attended the Party in the Park, with the most popular attraction being Rory, the 4.5-meter-long T Rex, who led a dance and children games.
