A HOST of pop acts, indie bands and DJs took to the stage at the Offset Festival in Hainault Forest Country Park this weekend.
Following its critically lauded launch in 2008, the 8000-capacity festival was set against the park's idyllic backdrop and as well as live music, featured a 'rare breeds farm'.
Open to all ages, the event featured eight stages with 200 artists, ranging from post-punk group The Slits to veteran shoe-gazers Jesus and Mary Chain.
Billed as 'a compelling alternative to any other UK festival', the two-day festival also included club nights and a dance stage.
As well as music, Offset also offered a 'lifestyle section' with organic catering including vegetarian food and hog roasts.
A vintage clothing market offered fashion from the 1920s to the present and a funfair featured a Ferris wheel and helter-skelter.
