More than 500 visitors were treated to a range of activities and music at Broughton Gifford's popular Cock and Bull festival.

Organised by Box charity Jamie's Farm, guests to the festival held at Lenton Farm were treated to music, workshops, talks and the hotly-anticipated farmer's Olympics.

The charity, which has been running the event for the last six years, helps vulnerable children in challenging urban schools.

Jamie Feilden, CEO of Jamie's Farm said: "I think it has been our most successful year yet! We had an amazing group of volunteers, supporters and there were a lot of new faces. It was exciting to see lots of new faces interested in what we do.

"We developed the talks further this year and it was really well received. On Sunday we had talks and debates and one person said it was better than A-Fest so that was good! It was quite nice for people to relax as well."

Although competitors in the farmer's Olympics stunned the crowds with the hay bale high jump and egg throwing heats, the CEO had a different festival highlight.

He said: "The highlight for me was on Sunday we had an amazing Congolese band playing and at the end of that we had all the staff on stage and the feeling we got from the crowd and the feeling among the staff was great.

Last year, the festival raised more than £30,000 for the charity and the staff are hoping to beat that amount in this year's count.

Mr Feilden added: "We are going to take a year off but we will be coming back in two years feeling refreshed and ready for more."
