Crowds of visitors piled into the town for the final day of the Pershore Plum Festival.

Thousands of people arrived at Pershore's Abbey Park and town centre to explore the festival during what is widely regarded as its biggest day.

Angela Dakin, who came with a group of friends, said: "It's a brilliant day, and it's really good to see the High Street busy.

"Independent businesses in the town will do well as a result, so it's great that they benefit from the festival."

Her friend Sara Wickins added: "Yesterday was a bit quieter - almost feeling as if it was the one and only day of the festival.

"But there's much more going on today."

Pershore Plum Festival's food village had a stage at its centre for live music performances throughout the day along with an eclectic blend of food stalls.

Bredon resident Derek Ebbage, who visited with his wife Viv, said: "There's quite a selection in this food area and it's good to see lots of plum stalls around.

"We come to the festival most years and it keeps getting bigger."

Mrs Ebbage added: "I'm always amazed by the classic cars too, there are so many this year."

The classic car show was a main element of the day's events with lines of vintage cars displayed around Pershore Abbey and Abbey Park.

Car enthusiast Rory Musker, from Cirencester, was attending for the first time.

He said: "It's fantastic. I have been here since around 8.30am, and I think festivals of this kind work so well because there are so many different elements to them."

On the car show, Mr Musker added: "There are all kinds here, from the latest Rolls Royce to souped up Mini's. Lots of effort has gone into this, and long may that last."

Broad Street was lined with stalls selling a range of plum-themed products too.

Karen Sumpter, who owns Evesham Goldenberries, said: "It has been a busy two days.

"We have 11 varieties of plum jams, and these is the type of market we need more of because they're so popular here."
