Thousands of people turned a tranquil allotment in Cowley into a buzzing festival site yesterday.

Live bands, workshops and kung-fu displays were among the attractions at the 18th Elder Stubbs Festival, which enjoyed blue skies and warm temperatures.

The event was organised by the Elder Stubbs Garden Group, an initiative run by mental health charity Restore, to raise awareness of mental health issues.

Festival organiser Jed Dale said: “There are so many different people here who have all come along to have a nice afternoon."
