The Lady Bay Summer Festival was the perfect opportunity for the Rutherford family to spend some quality time together whilst staying local.
Mum Miriam, who was joined by her husband Leslie and their two children Hannah and Joseph, said it was great to see there was something for everyone at the event, which is now in its third year.
They started their Saturday with lunch at the Poppy and Pint pub, in Pierrepont Road, before enjoying a range of stalls, activities and live music in the car park, where the festival was held.
Miriam, of West Bridgford, said: "I think the festival is absolutely lovely, we have enjoyed a good couple of hours here. It is nice that it is for all ages. There's music, a range of stalls and stuff for the kids to do."
Seven-year-old Hannah said her favourite part of the festival was getting a new Minnie Mouse jumper, which her parents had bought from one of the stalls.
She said: "I liked walking around and seeing what was here. I also liked my face being painted and meeting the Singing Princess. My Minnie Mouse top is so comfy."
Dorota Biedrzycka was at the event promoting her new speciality tea and personal training business, Snail and Rabbit, in Trent Boulevard.
She said: "It is my first time coming to the event, but it has been good. It is nice to see people supporting each other. I have bought a few things from other stalls."
Joint organiser Mike Earl said he was pleased to see so many people at the event, which was revived in 2012.
He said: "We really wanted to do something for the community and this sort of event brings everyone together.
"It is good to have local businesses, food, drink and live music all in one place. We get a bigger following every year."
