Festival-goers enjoyed live music, games, performances and a chance to watch England in the Euros at a village event.

Langtoft Festival attracted big crowds on Saturday (July 6) as people gathered at The Pavilion Sports Field for an action-packed day.

A football fan zone was set up for those wanting to watch the Three Lions take on Switzerland in the quarter finals of Euro 2024 alongside an inflatable football dartboard and a penalty shoot-out competition.

The festival fun also included children’s entertainment, crafts, stalls and a dog show.

It was organised by Liz Jarman, Natalie Stygall and Diane Valentine. Natalie said: “It was absolutely amazing. A few performances had to be cancelled at the last minute due to the rain, but the sunshine soon came out along with the footfall.

“We had more than 1,000 people attend and raised around £550 for Anna's Hope.”
