There were Transformer robots, tea ladies, Thor, tea spoons, tennis players, Thunderbirds, trains, Terminator, tea bags and even Teen Wolf .

Five years ago the festival decided to start a fancy dress theme using the letters of its name as inspiration.

Organiser Nick Chambers said: “We purposely didn’t want to chose an actual theme like pirates or vicars or whatever.

“We decided that if you just give people a letter they can really let there imaginations run wild and the proof is in the pudding.

“We’ve had some amazing stuff here over the years – real works of genius! A lot of people making and not spending.

“This year we want people to really push the limits.

“H is a great letter – definitely in my top five – and the possibilities are limitless.

“Hobgoblins, hedgehogs, hermit crabs, hussars, Hell’s angles, helicopters, Henry Winkler, The Hulk, the list goes on!

“Just think twice before you plump for hippy!”
