Pub in the Park 2023 kicked off in St Albans on Friday as thousands of revellers enjoyed delicious food and top tunes.
The opening session of the three-day food and music festival was hosted by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, who welcomed the first guests into the Verulamium Park site on Friday afternoon.
Among the restaurants serving food were local favourites Dylans at The Kings Arms and Thompson St Albans, alongside Kerridge's own Michelin-starred The Hand & Flowers and The Green Man, the pub run by Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown.
Festival-goers were treated to music by Cassa Jackson and singer Shola Ama on the main stage before Rudimental headlined with a DJ set.
