This year’s festival includes free bus and train transport for ticket holders, and more than 40 food stalls, bands including The Bats and The Eastern, and other entertainment.
Festival founder Peter Cole said that a core of about 20 people were involved in the festival organising committee, and plenty of volunteers from community groups helped out.
Organisers had built a kitchen for a cooking demonstration tent.
“It’s all today. We’ve got one day to set up, we build everything on the Friday and take everything down on the Sunday.
“It’s just madness today, a 7.30am start and carry on till it’s finished in the evening.
“We’re building a bar at the moment.”
Any profits from the festival went back into the community through donations to charities. Decisions on who got what were made after the festival was over.
The amounts were dependent on the money made, although every event had made enough for donations to be handed out.
“There’s always something,” Mr Cole said.
Ticket sales were going well, and more had been sold than for previous events.
