In pictures: Revellers enjoy Ally Pally's music and food festival

The festival – which is free entry, though punters pay for food and drink – saw acts including the Heavy Beat Brass Band entertain visitors over two days.

Food from producers such as barbecue-experts Meat Street delighted many, while there was also fare from Venezuelan firm Guaca.

That's not to mention the Brazilian churros from Candidonut and a large selection of craft beer.

Ham&High photographer Polly Hancock snapped families and partygoers young and old, all having a top time at the top of the hill.

StrEATlife takes place a couple of times each summer, Covid-19 notwithstanding.
