A festival celebrating different skills and crafts is taking place in Devon for the 20th year.

More than 200 makers from across the country have been showcasing their talents at the Bovey Tracey Craft Festival, which runs from Friday to Sunday.

The festival includes workshops and demonstrations of some traditional skills including sewing and carpentry.

Organiser Sarah James said it was important event for producers who had experienced a tough time during the cost-of-living crisis.

Sarah James said visitors had the opportunity to see familiar and new crafters

She said: "Nothing really beats the in-person meet and greet with meeting the customer face to face - it's absolutely vital.

"These platforms we've built up over 20 years and people come from far and wide, they understand what they're coming to find."

Ms James said visitors had the opportunity to see familiar but also new crafters.

She said: "They have their favourites, they come to meet people they've met before, they've come to find new makers.

"It's a really important time for business, these are key times of year to come and support."
