"We had many people commending us for showcasing authentic acoustic music, just like the old days, instead of noisy sound systems," organiser Kaye Newton said.
"The announcements were made by town crier Ben Tranter, while riding his penny farthing from one end of the street to the other.
"It was a joy to watch so many people smiling, sitting around and taking in the entertainment or being informed with historical information and sharing stories.

"To top off the day we had the wedding, with the wedding party in formal attire. Laura and Chris are now happily married," Ms Newton said.
