THE Elms School in Colwall became a hotbed of fun and creativity at the weekend when it hosted a festival of the arts.

Pupils at the prep school took part in workshops and performances of music, poetry, theatre, painting and even circus skills during the two-day event.

All the events were enjoyed not only by the pupils, but many of their parents as well.

David Pearce, the school's deputy head, said the arts festival was a great success.

He said: "It went extremely well and there was a very lively atmosphere."
