The final day was blessed with good weather as people sat and enjoyed the music, food and drink.

Suzanne Bone used to live in Langton Herring but has since moved to Hertfordshire. This hasn't stopped her from coming to enjoy the festival, and she even brought friends along. She said: "I just think it has got a very good feel to it. I would recommend it to everyone. Who needs Glastonbury when you have Chesil?"

"It is important I mention the people who have made this possible. RiskSTOP Group Ltd are our major sponsors and they enable us to put on the event with confidence. Simmonds and Samson, Eresnt Heart Marquis, H. Doonans, the electrician Rob Luxton, 3sc Scaffolding and more."
