ARTISTS and musicians entertained thousands of festivalgoers at this year's Nozstock The Hidden Valley festival in Bromyard.

The three-day family festival, held at Rowden Paddocks, took place in glorious sunny weather at the weekend.

Now in its 18th year, the festival featured nine stages and included the headliners Jurassic 5, Imelda May and Gentleman’s Dub Club on the Orchard Stage.

Other performers who got the attention of the 5,000 visitors to this year's event included Slamboree, The Skints, Hot 8 Brass Band, Buster Shuffle, Professor Elemental, Split Prophets, Dr Syntax + Pete Cannon.

Jurassic 5, after their headline show, performed at an after-party show held in the Cabinet Of Lost Secrets in front of a lucky crowd of 100.

Pete Noz, the festival’s founder, said: “We could not be happier with another Nozstock done and dusted, and this time blessed with some rather good weather too.

"It really has been an amazing weekend with a lovely crowd, and we have seen some amazing performances from our headliners right through to the little things which happen across the site and add extra magic.

"Once more it has been a family affair in making this happen, so I would like to thank everyone who has helped in the build-up and during the festival.

"We give huge thanks to all the artists, performers, behind the scenes teams and everyone else who has contributed to making this such a fantastic weekend, and yes of course – we are already planning for 2017."
