A bumper amount of revellers descended onto Chalkwell Park for this year's Village Green festival.

The annual event, organised by arts group Metal, saw around 25,000 people enjoy bands, performances, and shows throughout the day.

Basking in searing heat throughout the day, the likes of indie group Nothing But Thieves and 70s ska duo The Selecter entertained the crowds throughout the day.

Echo:
