WITH free music, dance and theatre, thousands of fun and sun seekers flocked to Gravesham's Big 7 Festival last week.

The seven day event, which began on July 18, saw more than 35,000 people come together with the annual Big Day Out bringing the party to a close on Saturday.

Events included an evening under the stars watching the hit movie The Boat That Rocked, free dance from Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists and last year's Gravesham Has Talent winners Taboo and music from The Young Ones star Adrian Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds.
