THOUSANDS of people enjoyed a weekend of live music at Christchurch Quay.

Crowds flocked to Christchurch Festival for the three day event, with sunshine and the idyllic setting proving an irresistable draw.

Acts such as Saints of Sin, Black Water County and Lady Winwoods Maggot were headliners on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And although the Saturday was quieter than usual due to England’s World Cup quarter final fixture, organisers say it was another successful year.

Celia Pelluet said: “We’re really pleased with how it all went.

“Especially thanks to all the volunteers who gave up their time to lend a hand.”
