Woodcarvings, photography and paintings by amateur artists wowed crowds at the annual art show over the weekend.

Everyone from regular participants to first timer's tried their hand at displaying and selling their work at the two-day art show in the Abbey Gardens.

Crowds flocked to see everything from carved wood pieces to wildlife photography and over 30 pieces were sold.

The artists are all members of the Abbey Church and do not have a regular art group.

Organiser Sally Macpherson said: "We'd only seen one of each artists pieces once before the show when we were discussing how to set up the exhibition, so we didn't know what to expect. It was amazing to see everyone's work on display "We had people who had never shown before, and by the end of the show we had lots of inquiries from people that want to take part next year."

The show is open to all local residents, to find out more ring 01992 560807.
