HUNDREDS of people packed into a marquee to hear West Country favourites The Wurzels perform at Bradford Festival at the weekend.

Their performance was the highlight of a weekend that was slightly marred by wet weather on Saturday.

But the sun came out again on Sunday to finish off a fiesta of music and fun.

Organiser Sparky Bloodworth said: "The Wurzels went down a storm on Friday night, it was absolutely fantastic.

"The wet weather did affect numbers on Saturday afternoon but the music in the evening was all under cover in the marquee so it went fine."

The afternoon events were all free with fairground rides on Saturday and Sunday and a circus skills workshop on the Saturday afternoon.
