It was a rather wet day on Saturday but that didn't deter visitors at Norsewood for the festival.

Organiser David Selfe said about 2000 people came along for the live entertainment at the Old Dairy Factory.

Selfe said while there would have been more people if it had been a sunny day, the stallholders at the market were happy and the bands had a good time.
