Entertainment included a Civil War re-enactment, a classic car show and Morris Men, with a Punch and Judy show among things to do for children.
More than half a million daffodil bulbs were also planted for the show, including the village’s own variety – Thriplow Gold.
The village was car-free for both Saturday and Sunday, as visitors had the chance to view the daffodil displays and visit many attractions.
Kerstin Rivett, press officer for the event, said: “I am delighted with the results.

“It’s been a great two days, with lovely visitors, providing an equally lovely atmosphere.
“It’s the pleasurable simplicity of our weekend that really makes it all so charming.
