festival: Generous organisers of Backwell Festival have donated proceeds from the event to a village charity.
Backwell Festival was held at Backwell Junior School and the musical spectacle raised more than �3,000.
The majority of the money will be spent on the library and a new cookery area for pupils, but organisers have donated �600 to Backwell Access Group to help pay for a path around Backwell Lake.
The access group is hoping to build a path around the beauty spot to enable disabled people and parents with pushchairs to access the lake. The charity has applied to the Big Lottery Fund for the �25,000 needed for the project and is hoping to submit a planning application for the scheme within the next few months.
