Tenth Hastings Fat Tuesday was the best ever say festival-goers

The five day event, which was the brainchild of Albion pub landlord Bob Tipler, celebrated its tenth anniversary in style.

Even Sunday’s wind and rain, which caused the Umbrella Parade to be re-located, could not dampen the spirits of those taking part.

The Old Town was buzzing on Tuesday as people packed into pubs to watch live music on the Fat Tuesday Tour.

Here is a gallery of pictures from the event taken by Frank Copper.
