Trade stands, food vendors and a busy ice cream van, along with tea and cakes provided by Friends of Ludgershall, English Heritage and St James Church, kept everyone refreshed. A selection of entertainers, including The Cover Girls, Nokando, Electric Eden and MJ Ponting, took to the stage throughout the afternoon and evening.
