Georgie masterminded the panto theme while isolating with Covid.

The festival proved a real success too - despite Covid restrictions, the income from entries, sale of trees, festival concert, fizz reception, raffle and sponsorship came to £13,400.

That cash will be shared equally between St Paul's church and the Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends.
