About 300 people came to the annual event, held at the Pavillion and playing field off Queensway.

The festival was kicked off by a performance from Sleaford Concert band, after which visitors got to enjoy a produce and craft show, owl display, archery, children’s entertainment, stalls and more.

Potterhanworth-based local band ‘Cat Litter’ also performed their mix of rock, punk and ‘80s music.

    “They went down a storm,” said Potterfest’s event secretary Jan Withers.

    “We had around 300 people on the day – and I think it was our best year yet.

    “New this year was a gin bar called Tipple Tin, which was run by a Nocton lady in a coverted horse box. That was absolutely brilliant.”
