Scattered around the perimeter of the park were the other essentials that make a happening happen. Growth recouped the money they had put into the festival from a barbecue, exotic tea, candy floss, the Tibetan Shop, The Culpepper herb and food stall, astrologers, mystics, fortune tellers, Tarrot readings and a poster stall. Dave Grozier and Pete Logan sold rings made from aluminum.

      

The Barbara Cole and Brian Moore puppets performed a show for adults. The colourful puppets manipulated by Saskia Thomas, Dave Neill, Cledwyn Hughes and Dave Bebbington.

The smell of incense filled the park and the pink candy floss clashed with the bright colours of the Kafftans, cloaks and elaborate head-dress of the audience.

Freaked-out youths convulsed rhythmically to the harsh beat of the pop groups, while bead-bedeckled appreciators tapped their feet to the folk artists, or drooled lovingly over their Eastern Scene Man.

In the crowd were twin sisters who had traveled from Harrow. One of the organisers Mary Finnigan said "The festival had been a great success. All the visitors were well behaved".
