Community artwork on show at Weston-super-Mare Glow Festival

Dazzling light installations made by the community along with local and international artists have gone on show.

The Glow light festival includes about 25 pieces spaced around Grove Park in Weston-super-Mare.

One of this year's main attractions is called 'In the Balance' and is made of rotating, fire-filled orbs.

Designed by Felix Rowberry, it was also made by children and young people from the South Weston Activities Network (SWAN).
