HUNDREDS of people turned out in force for the Nazeing Festival on Saturday (September 11).

Despite the looming threat of gloomy weather, the crowds were kept entertained with events including a dog show, a collection of classic cars and live music from local bands.

There was also a wide variety of stalls, refreshments and rides.

The event, in Elizabeth Close, was re-named as the 'Nazeing Festival' this year, in a change from its previous title of the 'Nazeing Fun and Culture Day'.
