Alcester was "buzzing" last weekend as a popular food festival returned to the town. 

The organisers of Alcester Food Festival were "thrilled" as crowds gathered on the high street to enjoy a variety of food and drink.

Guests were able to explore more than 100 stalls on Saturday (May 18) with many stopping to enjoy the live jazz band whilst others relaxed in the shade of the church. 

The school Bake Off was also a huge hit with visitors who were impressed by the incredible bread that was made.

"We've received some brilliant feedback on our successful event."

Alcester Food Festival was created in 2010 by residents who longed for an event where the street was lined with local and high-quality produce to be enjoyed al fresco alongside friends and family. 

The event is run by a small group of unpaid volunteers alongside other locals who help out on the day.

There are seven board members who spend the year planning and organising the food festival, which remains in the heart of Alcester High Street. 

The location means pubs, shops and cafes can get in on the action and it allows the organisers to "give back to the community".

They are also a Community Benefit Society meaning any surplus funds are donated to help local organisations.
