Essex Police said officers seized "a large quantity of illegal substances" and recovered cash from suspected drug dealers.

The East of England Ambulance Service and St John Ambulance worked together, attending to any sick people over the weekend.

Incidents included a man who accidentally stabbed himself with a tent peg, minor burns from people starting fires in tents and exploding gas cookers.
