A new West Cumbrian festival proved a hit with music fans of all ages.

The three-day Northbound took place at Wellington Farm, Cockermouth. 

Live music and entertainment took over the farmers' fields. 

Dub Pistols and Public Service Broadcasting were brought in to top the bill on the Friday and Saturday of the three-day event, and Colt 45.

Around 100 bands and solo artists appeared over the course of the weekend, as well as an array of DJing talent, across five stages.

Children had the Angel Gardens space, with face painting, crafts and activities.

Ben Crelling, 36, of Workington, said: “It’s my daughter’s first festival, she’ll be three next month, and she’s really enjoyed it.

"It’s a family-friendly event and she loved the face painting and the dancing lessons in the kids’ area.”

Families gathered in front of the main stage, dancing to the hip hop of Two Many Ts and bouncing to the indie tunes of Dexters, in a Saturday afternoon party.

There was local talent too, with Heartbreak Remedy, Youth Salute, 13 Stars, the Muff Wigs, Kontiki Suite, Hardwicke Circus, Mylittlebrother, Victimized and Mojo Rising among those booked to play.

The acoustic stage featured acts including the Rucksacks and Luke Matear. 

One of the most popular areas was the the Anything Goes dome.

Crowds gathered to see comedy from Suzanna Gonzo, play games including musical bingo, Blindfold Date, Last Man Standing by day, and then dance at the silent disco by night. 

The festival was held on the same fields as CockRock, which was last held in 2013.
