MUSIC filled West Malvern playing fields as bands took to the stage for this year's West Fest.

A family-friendly atmosphere ensured smiling faces from children as well as adults as the annual Bank Holiday music festival lived up to expectations.

Caroline Gardiner attended with her two-year-old son Billy.

She said: "This is my first time at West Fest and I'm quite impressed.

"We were quite apprehensive that it would not be for children, but it is."

Hits from a by-gone era, including songs from the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, got feet tapping as bands took to the stage.

Exhibitors including Greenpeace and coppice craft proved popular with those attending.

Jenna Higgins, from Wildwood Coppice Craft, said: "I'm absolutely loving it here. I'm quite new to Malvern and am having a really good time."
