A sun-drenched festival returned to the city over the weekend.

Revellers gathered at St Ann’s Well Gardens in Hove for the annual Spring Festival on Saturday.

Visitors were treated to meet-and-greet sessions with a barn owl, food and drink and family fun and games.

Various stalls sold hand-made clothes, jewellery and cakes, while a candy floss stall proved ever-popular with families.

Young and talented performers from Blatchington Mill School also entertained the crowds live music, including the five-piece Luna band.

The annual event is run by the Friends of St Ann’s Well Gardens group, which works with Brighton and Hove City Council to protect the gardens.
