IT was one of the most colourful events of the summer.

Peebles Arts Festival attracted hundreds of visitors to the town each year.

And it concluded this week with the Grand Prize Draw.

Peebles High School Head Boy Callum Forman and Head Girl Charlotte Bryce made the draw on Monday, which raised more than £1500 for next year’s event.

The prizes were won as follows - A weekend for two in London including a West End show, rail travel and four-star Hotel: Mrs M Leishman, from Edinburgh; Two tickets to the St Andrews Golf Open 2015: Mrs M Paul, Edinburgh; Family ticket to Royal Yacht Britannia: Mrs C Gardie, Peebles; Family ticket to Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh: G Davidson, Cardrona; Year’s pass to Bowhill Estates: L Hedley, Hawick.

Peebles Arts Festival Chairman Douglas Roberts said: “The prize draw raised over £1500 for the Peebles Arts Festival and the committee is grateful to everyone who bought a ticket to support the town’s Festival. The prize draw concludes this year’s Festival and the committee thanks everyone, artists, performers, hotels, galleries, organisations and individuals who contributed to this year’s Festival or joined in the fun.”
