A FREE family party brought the Love Rugby Festival to a close at the weekend.
The Love Rugby All In festival filled Caldecott Park with live music, food, drinks, free workshops and family fun.
Activities included arts and crafts by ArtLab, the Pangea Mobile Sculpture Bus, Autin Theatre’s Eko Puppet Walkabout, New Futures Creative’s music producing workshop, and a chance to have a go at wood turning.
Market stalls included a Mini Teenage Market featuring local young traders, and plenty of food and drink to keep people fed and watered in the picnic area.
The soundtrack was provided by Impact Steel Drums, The Big Sing choir, Bit the Pip, Andrew Higgins, Vince, Hunky Davy, Karolina Wegrzyn and the Grady Brothers.
It marked the end of this year’s Love Rugby Festival – two weeks of live music, art, sport, culture and family entertainment events which took place across the town and surrounding villages.
Observer photographer Marcus Mingins went along to capture the atmosphere.
