HUNDREDS of people enjoyed the hustle and bustle of a Georgian country fair at a popular open-air museum.
The event was recreated at the Beamish Museum, near Stanley, where there were authentic tents from the early 1800s, demonstrations of corn-dolly making, pole lathing and wooden bowl making.
Musicians entertained visitors with popular music of the Georgian era.
Adding to the atmosphere and excitement, a group of Wellington's Redcoats demonstrated what life was like for soldiers almost 200 years ago.
Throughout the weekend, Durham Light Infantry Society and Display Team, in authentic military uniforms, made camp at Pockerley Manor, with demonstrations of the ranked musket volleys which defeated Napoleon.
