THOUSANDS of people descended on Durham at the weekend to enjoy a feast of entertainment and shopping opportunities as the city staged its annual summer festival.
The Market Place saw plenty of circus entertainment and featured Mr Cellophane and a Chinese pole display.
Palace Green was packed with crafts and gifts, as well as falconry and a display of military vehicles.
And, throughout the weekend, Streets of Brass featured bands playing music ranging from Latin dance to cha-cha, sama and soul from contemporary India. The brass events formed part of the Durham International Brass Festival.
Durham Indoor Market manager Colin Wilkes said: "We were extremely lucky with the weather and had an excellent attendance on both days.
"Visitors moved around the city, giving them a good view of what Durham had to offer.
"There was a nice family atmosphere, with a lot of smiling faces."
