The hat-trick of open-air shows, presented by Norwich-based promoters Outside Live, saw thousands of people head to Taverham Hall over the three days.
Rhythm and blues maestro Jools Holland kicked off the festivities on Friday night with his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra plus special guests who had everyone up and dancing despite the rain.
On Saturday night it was the turn of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra to take to the stage for The Music of Bond concert.
The orchestra and guest vocalists wowed the crowds with a stunning performance of James Bond classics which included everything from Skyfall to A View to a Kill, and a skydiver surprised the audience during the Live and Let Die sequence.
