THOUSANDS of families gathered this weekend at the Woodstock Festival.

Parades, performances and parties showed off the market town as young and old wore fancy dress for the community gathering.

Woodstock Gymnastics Club, celebrating their 21st year, performed for the crowds despite the unpredictable weather.

The group displayed tumbling sequences and danced to the sounds of classic musicals such as Mary Poppins, Lion King, Frozen and Grease.

Hannah Brooks, who runs the club, said: “It was fantastic, we worked really hard and all the parents were very pleased.

“It was a really lovely day. We had some of the group doing floor dancing, lots of tumbling with the older ones.

“The children loved it, they joined in the parade with everybody.

“It was a bit of a shame about the weather, but we sang in the rain.”
