Trade stands, food vendors and a busy ice cream van, along with tea and cakes provided by Friends of Ludgershall, English Heritage and St James Church, kept everyone refreshed.
A selection of entertainers, including The Cover Girls, Nokando, Electric Eden and MJ Ponting, took to the stage throughout the afternoon and evening.
As the sun set, more people joined, seeking shelter under the hedges surrounding the ground.
A council spokesperson said: "Well done to all the people who helped to make this such a success and to all the Ludgershall residents who came to dance and sing along with us."
