Lindfield Arts Festival celebrated its tenth anniversary with a record number of visitors. More than 5,000 people descended on the village to enjoy the arts.

From Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd September Lindfield opened its doors to celebrate and showcase local artists and performers of all ages.

During the week highlights included a sell-out comedy night and performances from award-winning musicians Aynsley Lister and Liane Carroll.

On Saturday festivalgoers basked in glorious sunshine. The High Street and Common buzzed with bumper crowds enjoying live theatre, circus skills, visual arts, dance, classic cars, flowers, literary and drawing workshops, food and music from local DJs.
