Feast Hinckley, the town's annual food and drink festival in Argent's Mead has seen its largest ever crowd.
The festival ran on Saturday and Sunday (1 – 2 August), with 50 vendors offering attendees a range of national and international cuisine.
To accompany the culinary delights, visitors enjoyed performances from Dean Thomas, Richie Phillips, Ukulele BoxVox and the Mayor’s Charity Performance.
There was also a 120-foot giant inflatable assault course, a sandpit for the younger children and other activities for everyone to enjoy across the Mead.
Fosse 107 provided the soundtrack to the weekend.
