Youth photography contest launched with half-term workshop

Fourteen young people, aged 11 to 17, attended the event at the Guildhall in Bury St Edmunds on Monday.

The workshop, organised by Bury Abbey Rotary Club, was led by local photographer and sculptor Nigel Kaines, with help from members of the Bury Photographic Society.

Participants captured creative images in the Guildhall Garden and the Tudor Kitchen, focusing on the theme, Wonderful Water, exploring where nature and water meet.
