Last week Howard Gawler, Chair of Council, and Claire Young attended the launch of this year's Discover Festival at Winterbourne Barn. They joined volunteers from the barn, a belly dancer and a small but very lively furry animal!

The festival runs until the end of October so there is still plenty of time to enjoy the events, which take place all over South Gloucestershire and cover everything from sampling local food to exploring our heritage. For more information see the Discover Festival 2014 webpage.
