Tim Atkinson, who started the festival in 2005, said: "When we started I didn't expect to have experienced Japanese drumming hailing the opening; it was quite something."
This was followed by workshops for all ages, including crown-making, animation, toddler art and painting ceramic mugs and plates.

Only two outdoor events had to be moved into St Peter's Church Hall, a theatre performance of Pinocchio and live music, planned for outside on the quay.
At the church there was a royal-themed flower festival, a display of photos and memorabilia and screenings of archive film of village events.
Simon Thompson, chairman of the organising committee, said: "The exhibition provoked much discussion and memories, many of which have added to our village archives."
Residents were invited to take part in "door art", producing work with the theme of Queens for their front doors.
Mr Thompson said: "It produced a wide variety of imaginative interpretations as well as the more predictable."
