THOUSANDS packed the centre of Lymm on Thursday night.
Roads were closed for the annual street food fest which kicks off 11 days of Lymm Festival.
And despite a clash with England's European Championships game with Denmark, huge numbers turned up to enjoy the day out and the sunny weather.
And even more came at full time.
