Bears of all sizes were in evidence at the Old Potato Yard last week as part of the Devizes Food and Drink Festival.

Visitors from all over the county converged on the big event, bringing with them their beloved stuffed toys.

Little Lucy and Ben Carter appeared overwhelmed with the outsize bear that was the centrepiece of the exhibit in a marquee outside Plank’s Farm Shop.

Diz Plank, who owns the Old Potato Yard with husband Brian, said: “It was a brilliant day, despite the weather, and the bears were wonderful.

“Sadly, one bear got left behind. He is grey with a triangular face and his name is Gilbert.

“If Gilbert’s owner would like to drop in some time, we would love to reunite them.”
