Singer-songwriters, rappers, bands, DJs and vocalists all performed on the main stage.

A mobile skate park spread over the multi-use games courts attracted young people with scooters, skateboards and bikes who wowed crowds and proud parents with their fast 360º ‘flipping’ displays.

Other attractions saw young people compete in the inflatable dual or the opportunity to become the highest scorer at laser tag or football darts.
