Sophie McCormack, of Dawlish-based social enterprise Promenade Promotions, said: "We had a strong turnout during the day and many people stayed for the cabaret event in the evening.

"It was very interactive, the Passionometer and the Imaginarium were full all day, as people heard music and listened to stories.

"Everyone I spoke to had a fun day and really enjoyed themselves. After organising most of it in a short space of time, it was nice to see everything come together.

She added: "The town council really wanted the event to happen in Dawlish.

"Everyone was chuffed to bits with how well it went. And we'd love to do the event again next year."
