We had another great weekend! Thank you to all who visited and to the stallholders and speakers who took part - without you there would be no festival.

The weather held up, all the stalls laid out over the lawns looked fabulous and everyone who came seemed to be having a good time, at least judging by the full carrier bags, the childrens' painted faces and smiles all round.

We will get some pictures up on the site over the next few days. In the meantime please make use of the information on the stallholders page if you want to follow up any of the contact you made on the day.

And keep your eyes peeled for next year's event!
