CHARD foodies enjoyed a Christmas festival of food which encouraged people to share ideas about cooking on a budget.

The recent CHAR-Delicious Christmas event boasted a host of Christmas-themed ideas to help people transform their festive season.

The event was organised by Chard’s Wednesday community cooking group, Bubble & Speak Community Kitchen.

There was plenty to see and eat, including winter soups and salads, and people had fun joining in with making pancakes.

Kate Rew, who runs Bubble and Speak, said: “It was a chance to discover fun new ways to enjoy the festive season.”
