BEER TIME: Festivalgoers enjoy a pint while listening to live music
A total of ten bands played at the fun-filled mini-festival in the pub garden, which overlooks Tillingbourne brook, on Sunday.
Fiona Morley, the pub's landlady and festival organiser, said: "The festival went very well apart from the heavy shower, but it was held in true festival spirit."
More than £1,900 was raised, which will be split between a number of local charities, both children's and adults'.
She added: "Chandler Guitars donated a Fender guitar for the raffle which raised more than £200 and £85 was raised on the duck race."
Among the bands that performed were The Beautiful Losers, Gold Rush, Bemif and The True Deceivers.
Gomstock has been running for eight years and has always proved to be hit with punters.
