"It was an excellent day. We can't be sure how many people were there exactly but it must have been around 2,000.
"We had 48 stalls this year as well which is the most we have ever had. The Accrington Pipe Band were superb and in fact I think we had people from lower down the estate coming along this year because they could hear the band playing.
"These events are brilliant for bringing the community together and they wouldn't be possible without the hard work of the volunteers at the park."
