GALLERY – Ayscoughfest is the hottest date!

More than 3,500 people enjoyed the free Ayscoughfest held on Saturday.

Live music and children’s activities made for a great family day out at Ayscoughfee Hall and Gardens.

Organised by South Holland District Council, the event proved incredibly popular.

“Wow, Spalding you did us proud with your fantastic support at Ayscoughfest,” said the council’s communities team.

Special thanks went to the garden crew at the venue who worked from 6am to 9pm to keep everything on course.

“Huge thanks to all our performers, Mark Le Sage for introducing us to several of our performers, and all children’s activity providers.”

The festival was founded last year by council member Mark Le Sage.

This year’s event saw bands ranging from The Ripsaws to a Sabrina Carpenter tribute on the main stage. A chillout zone had the Take Note Choir, Spalding Community Choir and the Rock School Bus perforning among others.
