Music fans flocked to Leicestershire at the weekend for the chance to play some of the world's finest acoustic guitars and learn from the masters.
Acoustic Avalon, the UK's longest-running acoustic guitar show, was held at Leicester Racecourse, Oadby, on Saturday and Sunday.
Hundreds of people attended the event, which was organised by Sheehans music shop, in Leicester.
The show included a Saturday night gig by Jon Gomm and Clive Carroll, who have played for the likes of Madonna and chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
Jason Spencer, who works in the guitar department at Sheehans, said: "We had a fantastic turnout as soon as the doors opened at 10am on Saturday.
"The concert was fantastic. We had 150-plus people there and we had to lay out extra seats.
"They put on a fantastic performance and everyone had a great time.
"We have had lots and lots of guitars for people to play and choose from – it has been a really good event.
"I would say we've probably had almost 400 people over the weekend.
"We started at the racecourse in 1998 and it's always a big event."
