We asked you to cast a vote for your favourite activities that have taken place in the town over the past two months.

The interactive piggy trail, organised by St Elizabeth Hospice, topped the results with 82.5% of 57 readers giving it the tick of approval.

Norman Lloyd, project manager, said: “We are happier than a pig in mud that the public have voted Pigs Gone Wild the top event of the summer.

“We have had such positive feedback and some really lovely and heartwarming comments from people who followed the trail and have enjoyed having the pigs as part of their daily life this summer, and to have people vote it the best event really is the icing on the cake.

“Thank you to everyone who voted and supported the trail in aid of St Elizabeth Hospice, helping make it the huge success that it has been. It means to the world to everyone at the hospice, including our patients and families.”

More than 35% of readers who responded to our poll chose the new event as their pick of the summer.
