Organiser Scott Parkinson: "We are delighted to have at last had some decent weather to dry the ground out for the festival.

"Tottington's Big Day Out takes a considerable amount of organisation leading up to the event and the day itself represents the coming together of many different organisations.

"Among them are St Anne's Church, Totty Cricket Club, stall holders, volunteers/stewards, bands, stage and sound experts, brewery, not to mention the community!

"We hope that this year continues to provide a great day out- safe, family orientated and bags of fun!"
