FAMILIES and youngsters rushed to a city park for a children’s festival event.

Visitors enjoyed the 3foot People Festival at Hylands Park, Chelmsford in  the summer sunshine.

Back for its twelfth year, the hugely popular event aimed at pre-school children welcomed thousands of little and big people as they descended onto the scenic grounds of the park for an array of playful activities and amusements that inspired and entertained.

There was plenty of entertainment from music, shows and much more.
