ECOFEST was held for the thirteenth year at the weekend - and while the number may be deemed unlucky, for festival revellers it proved the opposite.
With a top line up, around 800 people attended the festival held at Badger Farm, Red Hill, near Asterby.
The weekend kicked off with the traditional lighting of the bonfire and a model of a globe made out of willow was set alight in honour of this year's theme – Planet Earth and people should cherish it.
Entertaining the crowds was a mix of music from folk to reggae to blues along with a star studded performance from the winners of the BBC Radio 2 Best Live Act in the 2009 Folk Awards, The Deamon Barbers.
Organiser, Susi Mulligan said it was the best year yet: "The lighting of the bonfire was just beautiful and the music in the bar was fantastic.
"It was wonderful all weekend and very peaceful.
"Everyone seemed happy, having a great time.
"Musically, every band was fantastic. I can't explain it any other way."
