Over 20 bands played at the White Mare over the weekend and £1,300 was raised for Wasdale Mountain Rescue team.

Around 500 people attended on each day.

Manager at the White Mare, Philip Ward, said: “It was brilliant, for a little village like Beckermet. People said they enjoyed the atmosphere and there was no trouble.”

The event will take place again next year.
