Festival fever returned to Weston Primary and Nursery School on Saturday after the school playing field transformed into the stage for a huge party.
The event - which started 10 years ago - runs every other year and 2019's event saw live music, delicious food, a sound and light show and much more.
The sound of music filled the air all afternoon with the school choir opening proceedings - followed by Jasmine Donovan, an ex-pupil of the school.

Mark Sullivan, the Cardinal Kings, George Powell, Tidal Basis and the Bengeo Blues Band all performed to a crowd of 450 people.
Stilt walkers waded through the crowds and fire-eaters took people's breath away all day.
To end, Full Fat Audio and the Practice Roomz hosted an Ibiza set, which had festival-goers dancing their socks off until midnight.
