Pete Wheeler, one of the organisers of the festival, said it was "incredible" to be back at Chirstchurch Meadows this year.

"It's been three years in the making," he said.

"There's been so many stops and starts for it, but it's been such a release for us to finally come back here and keep going from where we were and the support we've had from the local people has been great."
