As you can see from the pictures people of all ages have been having fun at the free three-day event supported by Arts Council England which celebrates African, Caribbean and South American culture.

The festival is filled with  live art performances, music, a street gallery, interactive demonstrations, authentic foods and loads of fun at Sandwell Valley Country Park.

Amongst the fun and laughter, there was also a visit yesterday from Enterprise WM where young people could meet potential employers and get advice on their career paths, plus learn about job opportunities.

ONE Festival is continuing today and tomorrow (doors open 10.30am) with free entry via eventbrite.co.uk/e/one-fest-tickets-1365317785249
