Revellers at the WOMAD Festival who made it through the hours of traffic jams yesterday were then faced with a mudbath.
The heavy rain that has battered the county has left people traipsing through the mud as they wander round the grounds of Charlton Park.
Despite scenes reminiscent of this year's Glastonbury, spirits were very high on the first night of the event.
Pairs of wellington boots were selling for as much as £20 as traders took advantage of the conditions.
Traffic, at one point in the early evening, was backed up over five miles, as far as Stanton St Quintin, just off Junction 17 of the M4.
Cars were still stretching back as far as Corston, on the A429, late into the night. Heavy traffic is again expected today, as more festival-goers arrive for the weekend.
