The music and arts festival at Standon Lordship opened on Thursday night.

Orbital headlined the main stage on Friday night with an incredible show.

The day also featured performances by Mercury Prize nominated Kate Tempest, Nadia Rose, Lucy Spraggan and Slaves.

Luther star and Hollywood actor Idris Elba also played a DJ set on the new Cindarella’s Motel stage into the early hours of the morning.

With weekend tickets sold out, Clean Bandit are due to headline tonight (Saturday).

Grace Jones will bring the festival to a close on Sunday night.

• Our photographer Kevin Richards was there to capture the action on the opening days.
