UP and coming young talent took centre stage during a festival of fun in West Bridgford.
The Bridgfest youth festival showcases activities available for youngsters across Rushcliffe and provided a family day out for around 4,000 people on Sunday.
The festival included live music from local bands and around 50 activity, sport and creative stalls.
Alecks Jackowska, 55, took her son and his friend to the event.
"It's brilliant," the 55-year-old from Carlton said.
" The kids are really impressed. It's great to have during the summer holidays. It's a great day out."
Johnny Rowley, from New Basford, took his two children, aged eight and 11.
He said: "This is the first time we've come down. It's a really good thing - I like the fact that there's so much to do and so many free things.
"The kids have had a nice time especially playing human table football."
Ian Whitehead is locality youth manager responsible for Rushcliffe at Nottinghamshire County Council and helped to organise the event.
He said: "It's going really well. We're expecting numbers of about 4000 overall which is really good. People are enjoying it.
"The whole idea really is to promote activities for young people and let them know what's out there and available."
The event is organised by the county council's youth service and showcases local musical talent on a stage throughout the day.
The bands come from the Young People's Centre next door to West Bridgford Park - where the festival was held - and gives youngsters the opportunity to play their songs live.
Zac Pritchett, from West Bridgford, learned his musical craft at the centre and was helping out at yesterday's event after playing in previous years.
The 17-year-old's band, Hello Tomorrow, have hit the heights after learning their trade at the youth centre.
"It's going quite well for us, we've played the Royal Concert Hall and Rock City a few times," he said.
"It's definitely helped us doing this - it has given us a place to practice and perform."
