The event really did have something for all ages to enjoy.
The market place, main street and Bullring were all packed with stalls, with a number of town groups and good causes taking the opportunity to raise money to support their work.
Alford Morris Men, local young dancers and Mel’s Punch and Judy entertained shoppers as they walked through the town.
There was plenty of musical entertainment too in the market place, from the likes of the Coningsby Military Wives, the Young Stagers and even Adele, aka KT Starr.
