Many of the buskers were making their first appearance at the event and were raising money for local charities.

Julian Gillett, from the Wymondham Music Festival team, said: 'It's been a lovely morning. The sun shone and the music created a good buzz in the town centre. I am very pleased that so many young people turned out to busk this year.'
