THOUSANDS of revellers basked under glorious sunshine as they gathered for a traditional Hampshire festival.

The annual Romsey Beggars Fair celebrated its 20th anniversary with more than 86 acts taking part in 21 venues across the town.

Festival-goers were treated to scorching temperatures as the mercury reached 28C.

The event included Morris dancing, jugglers, a Punch and Judy show, and the North Baddesley-based Balloon Man.

Pubs and venues in Romsey opened their doors to a wide range of performers, including Angela Jackson and Friends, duo Acoustic Affect, singer Ben Goddard, and Saltwatersun.
