BUSINESSES in Colchester came together for a weekend of dancing and food.

The Trinity Street Festival was held today and businesses including Tymperleys and the GO4 Market Cafe took part.

There were Flamenco dancers from London-based ‘Flamenco y Danza’, a dog show, a barbecue, and a cake sale. Alice Charrington, from Tymperlys, said they saw more than 1,000 people visiting.

She said: "It was a fabulous day and the sun shone.

"It has been buzzing right from the beginning, we represent all of the independent businesses along Trinity Street and we work together to bring people down our street.

"It's about raising our profile and boasting about how wonderful our street is."
