Choirs and plants for festival finale

A CHOIR competition and gardens open day this weekend marks the end of the week-long Westbury Park festival.

Over the last five days residents have enjoyed a variety of community activities, such as a guided walk on the Downs and a concert by children from Westbury Park School.

Today, there will be a street party in Bayswater Avenue from 2pm to 5pm.

In the evening the festival will present its own version of the BBC's Last Choir Standing.

Only Choirs Aloud will be a friendly competition between local amateur choirs at St Alban's Church in Westbury Park, which was recently featured on Songs of Praise.

On Sunday, 20 gardens in Westbury Park will be opened to the public, from 2pm.

New to view this year is the Westbury Park School allotment on Redland Green.
