PICTURES: KettFest 2017

Kettering was full of weird and wonderful sights and sounds at the weekend as KettFest returned.

The community arts, culture and music festival took place across the borough from Friday to Sunday with attractions ranging from poetry readings and yarn-bombing to model railway rides and superhero appearances.
