Scores of festival goers, young and old, flocked to Escot Park, near Ottery St Mary - the home of the Levellers’ family music festival, organised by DMF Music.

Musical giants Manic Street Preachers, The Hives, Suzanne Vega and the Levellers were headline acts over the three-day festival, from August 17-19.

The festival boasts seven stages, on-site art, children’s area, comedy, theatre, family camping, licensed real ale bars and a wide choice of food and craft stalls.

Such is the popularity of Beautiful Days, festival tickets sell out quickly; it does not advertise, has no sponsorship or branding.
