Here are some of the best pictures from the weekend, as thousands of festival-goers enjoyed sunshine, live music, family entertainment, and community spirit as Tottington's Big Day Out returned to Crompton Meadows on Sunday, July 5.
Our gallery showcases dozens of images from the popular community event, which featured six live bands on stage, a packed programme of family activities, dozens of stalls, and a variety of food and drink outlets.
Visitors from across Greater Manchester were treated to performances from FunkStarr, Appy Mondays, MCR Made, The Southern Rock Band, and returning favourites Rusty Springs and the Bone Shakers, helping to create a lively atmosphere throughout the afternoon.
Families in Tottington also enjoyed the kids’ zone, inflatable attractions, games, face painting, and community activities.
Photographer Danny Crompton, who attended the event and took the pictures, said: "It was an absolutely brilliant day out. I've covered it for the last few years, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
"There were a few thousand people there, £3 entry, bring your own chair and even bring your own food, and it was just a great atmosphere.
"Loads of cover bands were playing, and they were getting everybody involved; it was just a great family day out."
Many festival-goers arrived with folding chairs and settled in for an afternoon of music in the summer sun.
Alongside the entertainment, local charities, community groups, and independent businesses filled the event’s stalls area, offering everything from jewellery and crafts to fundraising games, pet charities, fostering information, and children's activities.
Posting on social media after the event, organisers thanked everyone who attended and highlighted the importance of community support in making the day possible.
They said: "Thank you to everyone who came today.
"We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
"We can't put the event on without the support of the local community, businesses, and individuals.
"We had a blast and hope you did too.'
From the crowds enjoying the weather to the bands rocking the main stage, these pictures capture another successful year for one of Tottington’s most popular annual events.
