David McEwan-Cox, chairman of Cambourne Youth Partnership said: “It went really well. The first year we had 500 people attend, last year that figure rose to 2,000 and this year was our biggest ever with 5,000 people turning out.”
Mr McEwan-Cox added: “Youth Fest provides resources for the community and builds community spirit. It gives youngsters the opportunity to try new experiences such as pony rides, archery and power kiting. It was an exciting day for all.”
