Playing the Field Festival on Eastleigh’s Stoneham Lane featured various performances, fairground attractions, and other entertainment across the bank holiday weekend.

Saturday's line-up included live acts from Razorlight, The Fratellis, and a DJ set by Dougie Poynter.

Chesney Hawkes, Ogretones and Sound Pop Academy also brought the "festival magic."

The event, described as the ideal occasion for all ages, also had circus acts among various performers.

Many of the performances were spread across two stages.
