Thousands of music fans have been enjoying a packed bank holiday weekend at Shrewsbury Folk Festival.

The festival has four music stages, a dance tent, dedicated children and youth festivals, an extensive programme of workshops, craft and music fair, real ale and cocktail bars and food village.
Drone Rangers have also been flying drones over the site throughout the weekend, beaming live aerial pictures of the festival onto screens to give the people a different perspective on the event.
