A Hot Day At Howden Festival 2011


Today saw the annual Howden festival take place at the Ashes Playing Field in Howden.

It was an incredibly hot day, with regular tannoy announcements reminding visitors to wear suncream and seek out shade.

The sun ensured that the festival was very popular with visitors and stayed busy all day long.

Amongst the attractions on offer there were sheepdog shows, 'MAD' bike shows and horse shows.

There was also a circus skills tent offering free workshops for all ages and a Women's Institute tent offering craft workshops for kids, as well as a giant bouncy slide and go karts.

Possibly the most popular tent was the food tent, packed with stalls offering homemade cupcakes, wines, chutneys, jams, olives and other tasty snacks.

The day was certainly a grand success.
