The Hartlepool show takes place on August 19 and 20, at Grayfields Recreation Ground, at 11.30pm, both days.

Attractions include vintage vehicles, quad bikes and free fall parachutists.

The 4th Para freefall parachute team will drop in on the Saturday, while the vintage vehicle display can be seen on Sunday only.

Most of the other attractions will appear on both days.

There is also a full programme of entertainment in the music marquee.

The Hartlepool Silver Band, stilt walkers, Cleveland Fire Brigade, horticulture, and art and crafts are among the attractions.

One of last year's biggest successes, the children's farm, will return, giving youngsters the opportunity to get a close-up view of their favourite farm animals.

Kevin Burns, Hartlepool Borough Council's marketing officer for the show, said: "The Hartlepool Show is one of the biggest events in the town's entertainment calendar, and a lot of hard work has gone into making it a success.

"We have a number of spectacular attractions lined up with something for everyone, and of course it is all for free."
