Visitors donned their wellington boots and some even wore vintage fancy dress to enjoy fun at the Farm Feast weekend on the Wirral.

Previously known as Wirral Food and Drink Festival, the lively event was held at Claremont Farm in Bebington. Thousands of visitors flocked to the site over the two days and enjoyed a host of local food-related delights and cookery demonstrations from, among others, Great British Bake Off contestant Brendan Lynch. Sunday evening also featured Livestock, a new music event headlined by Peter Hook, the former Joy Division and New Order bass player.
