Free arts festival being held in Highbridge's Apex Park today

A free arts festival will take place today (Saturday) at Highbridge's Apex Wildlife Park.

Highbridge and Burnham Artists is organising the event, called 'Denizens of the Deep', from 10am to 4pm.

Local artists have worked in schools, youth clubs, residential homes and their own studios to make colourful sea creatures for a sculpture trail at the event.

The festival, now in its fifth year, will also include many free arts activities, including events to make your own sea creature.

The event will also offer art workshops, competitions, exhibitions and an art fair, drum workshops and live music during the day.

Sculptures on show will be made from natural materials, such as driftwood, willow and paper pulp.
