The award-winning family friendly event saw camping tickets sell out for the first time in it's history. It has grown steadily into a much-anticipated bank holiday activity for attracting families and music lovers from all over the country.

Local bands leapt at the chance to entertain the crowds, joining headline acts Scouting For Girls, From The Jam and Doctor and The Medics and top tributes Whole Lotta Led and Flash: A Tribute to Queen. 

Festival director and founder Jennie Rainsford said: "We've seen the festival grow from a few hundred people to several thousand. 

"We are passionate about supporting up-and-coming artists", said Jennie. "Having the extra space on the all-new busker's stage has enabled us to accommodate more performers who are keen to share their music. The vibe was fantastic and the acts all loved playing to such responsive audiences.

"We have given priority to local bands and it's great to be able to give our festival-goers something extra. It was an incredible three days - bring on next year!"

Gloucestershire-based engineering and technology giant Renishaw were the festivals Main Stage sponsor, whilst Swindon based Holmes Music supported the event with musical equipment.

The Comedy Stage returned for the second year, with more hilarious sets each evening. 

Very early bird tickets will be on sale for next year's festival soon.
