THOUSANDS of visitors flocked to Cark in Cartmel to enjoy fine weather and a raft of outdoor entertainment at this year's Holker Festival.

Green fingered television presenter and author Monty Don met visitors and exhibitors as the star guest at the event on Saturday as well as conducting a charity auction in aid of Ulverston's St Mary's Hospice.

More visitors are expected to travel to Holker Hall, the home of Lord and Lady Cavendish, tomorrow, Sunday, June 3, for the last day of the festival.
