Maggie Devine raised £1,000 for the charity Water Aid by holding the weekend-long celebration which featured live music, a raffle and an auction.
She said: “Over three days about 100 people came to the party in Sutton Gault – a lot of them even camped.

“We had four different live bands and other musicians come from all over the country.
“It was more of a mini festival with a birthday party thrown in.

“The idea came from me and I was giving a flyover in a microlight with people throwing confetti when I came down. It was amazing.
“I chose to raise money for Water Aid because of all the earthquakes that have happened recently, to help those who have been affected.”
