THE first ever East Clevedon Community Arts Festival has been judged a huge success by organisers.

Held from November 1-7, the festival saw musical performances by a wide range of soloists and groups as well as art shows and dance demonstrations put on at venues including Clevedon Court, Clevedon School, All Saints’ Church and St Mary’s Church.

Most events were sold out and a wide cross-section of the community both performed and attended.

The week, which was organised by Ian Corbett, was supported by Clevedon Town Council, Clevedon Rotary Club and the Big Lottery Fund.
