HUNDREDS of beer, cider and music lovers attended an annual fundraising festival in Stogumber.

Held on July 22 and 23, Gumbeerfest, which is in its seventh year, took place at the village cricket club, and donated money to the club and good causes in the area.

James Weetch, one of the organisers of the event, said: "It was a fantastic weekend and we would like to thank everyone who turned out to support the festival.

"We are still counting the money raised during the event.

"On Friday night, Somerset favourites, The Wurzels, were headlining and there was also entertainment from dance and contemporary pop group Filta and rock and roll band Rough Justice.

"People had a chance to meet representatives from Otter Brewery, Patriot Brewery, Mad Apple Cider Company, Secret Orchard Cider and West Somerset Cider Farm during our Meet the Brewer event on Saturday afternoon.

"We also hosted the first ever Gumbeerfest Beer Pong Championships, which was won by Will Weatherlade from Treborough and Will Bolton from Tolland."

Entertainment included Joey the Lips, This Fire, Palmerston, The Stoggymen and Mark ‘Elvis’ Nixon.
