A RARE Victorian carriage will be the star attraction at a museum exhibition this weekend.

Power from the Past, a display of turn of the century technology, takes place in the Beamish Museum on Sunday. The star of the show will be a newly-restored barouche from the mid-1800s. Other exhibits include the Penny Farthing high bicycle and a 1900 Humber Quadricycle.

Traditional May Day celebrations will be recreated on Saturday, including the crowning of the May Queen.
