Hundreds of visitors braved the threat of thunderstorms to browse the stalls at the Taste of Corsham street fair.

The town’s High Street was once described as a hidden gem in Wiltshire and true to form attracted the crowds on Saturday - all enjoying the celebration of local and regional food and drink.

The annual event was organised by Corsham Town Council, whose events officer Tracey-Ann Warpole was delighted with the attendance.

She said: “With its wide variety of food and drink stalls along the High Street this is always a popular event.”

Jayne Redwood brought seven flavours of cheese proving popular with her free taste samples.

She said: “One of the favourites was a vintage cheddar cheese called Twanger which according to tasters lived up to its name."

A drinks producer from near Pewsey brought a selection of signature Fruit Liqueurs to the show with one proving most popular.

Wiltshire Liqueur Companies' Tiffanie Robinson said: “Out of our four main liqueurs  the peach one is proving to be the favourite."

For the gardeners Corsham Climate Action’s Adam Walton was on hand to give advice on composting garden waste.

He said: "Using this large compost bin its important to get the air circulating around so put in shredded paper in among the greens to make it able to compost down."

There were also children’s sports and activities, and the return of the Taste Trail with a prize of a Woody’s - The Deli at Corsham hamper for the winner.

Visitors were invited to visit five stalls listed and get their form stamped in order to enter the taste trail hamper competition.

Along with around 30 stalls bringing the taste of local produce, visitors could relax listening to the sound of the Corsham Wind Band in the Martingale Centre.

They could also take in live music and storytelling on the taste stage on the lawns at the Digital Mansion.
