The popular music festival returned, boasting one of the country's most iconic ska bands in its line-up.
Legendary ska band Bad Manners, led by unmistakeable frontman Buster Bloodvessel, capped off last night's proceedings on Hansells' Stage One from around 6.30pm.
Now in its 12th year, the festival attracts around 2,500 people to the town with live music from more than 20 bands and musicians across four stages at three different sites.
Spokeswoman Hilary Gautier said: "There was a lot of concern about the weather beforehand, but we knew we would be okay because the field where it's held is very protected, with a line of trees on each side.

"When my favourite band, Tragedy performed, they threw confetti into the audience and the wind blew it everywhere.
"We raffled an electric guitar signed by Buster Bloodvessel.
"While events around the country were being cancelled because of the weather, Reepham held fast."
The two-day Reepham Festival is back today. Live music begins at 12.30pm, with all bands performing at Whitwell and Reepham Station on Whitwell Road.
