Acts including headliners Saus and the Secret Soulmates, Start Static, Oskar Braves, Kashmir Crows and more played to a packed crowd, which huddled inside the main tent.

Duncan Mitchell, general manager at Fife Employment Access Trust (FEAT), which runs the festival, said: “It went really well, and we’ve had a lot of really good feedback.

“It’s all been glowing praise. It all went to plan – apart from the torrential rain at 3pm.

“I reckon we had about 300 in the tent and another 200-300 at the stalls. But we lost a few people when the heavens opened.”

Duncan admitted that discussion had already begun on next year’s festival.

With FEAT aiming to set up a camping site in the park before next summer, the event could host festival-goers, as well as providing music.

The festival has become the biggest fundraiser for the organisation, which is currently in the process of developing Silverburn Park.

FEAT made almost a grand from donations alone this year, with ticket sales still to be counted.

The festival was the second event to take place at Silverburn over the weekend – Fife Gingerbread celebrated its 30th birthday in style on Friday.
