Abbey Pumping Station fills its Victorian surroundings with local food, drink, art, and craft for the weekend. Stalls running from savoury pies, curries, and pizza through to cakes and sweet stuff, plus handcrafted milkshakes, specialist coffee, cider tastings, and cocktails. Inside the marquee there are local makers and artists, and dotted about are vintage foodie vehicles including a Kirby & West milk float and a fully working coal-fired fish and chip van.

Live music both days, with BluesIrregulars from 1pm on Saturday and AfroCity bringing South African township jazz from 1pm on Sunday. Plenty for the kids too - a £1 vintage railway, face painting, an adventure playground, and a sand pit. Bring a picnic blanket, and dogs are welcome in the grounds.
