HUNDREDS of people converged on a nature reserve to enjoy an annual woodland craft day at the weekend.
The event at Castle Eden nature reserve, near Peterlee, featured a range of activities, including pole-lathing, willow-weaving and making besom brooms.
There were also craft activities for children, as well as face-painting, story-telling and a puppet theatre.
English Nature community liaison officer Melanie Hall said: "The weather was perfect. The event had an environmental theme and visitors also had the chance to try their hand at woodland crafts."
