Besides the very best ice cream from a host of stalls, there was a small fairground for the youngsters, food and craft stalls and entertainment including music and family performances.
The event organised by the Lowther Trust will be followed over the August Bank Holiday weekend by the Lytham Food and Drink Festival, also in the Gardens and being held across three days.
