HELENSBURGH Civic Centre was packed with punters wanting to try a selection of drink, music and food the area has to offer.

Two days of vendors and entertainment saw more than 2,000 people attend in what organisers hailed as going "stratospheric".

Festival convener Andrew Duncan from the event's organisers, the Helensburgh and District Round Table, said: "In reflecting on this year's festival, I am simply astounded - we've truly gone stratospheric.

"Seeing our community unite to transform the Civic Centre was deeply inspiring, with attendance reaching an impressive 2,044 across two days.

"Our gin and rum pop-ups served around 4,500 cocktails, and our main bars served up an impressive 4,000 pints of beer and cider.

"This is an outstanding achievement, a testament to the spirit of our community, and a promise of our festival's bright future.

"As we return to normality and gather our receipts, we anticipate profits in the £20-30,000 region, marking another significant milestone for us.

"To all who attended and contributed, thank you for making this an unforgettable event."
