THIS year's Chard St. George's Day Parade took place Sunday, April 21.

Residents were encouraged to take part and use dragon costumes and paraphernalia. A road closure was in place in the town centre from 2pm to 3pm.

The parade returned to Chard last week after the first, successful edition held last year.

After the event, residents and visitors could have a look at the stalls on the church grounds and at the display of a dragon artwork, created for the Chard Together event held earlier this month.
