Carnival season concludes with Hamsterley Hoppings

CARNIVAL season was rounded off on Sunday withthe hosting of the annual Hamsterley Hoppings.

Along with a vintage car show, the village green was teeming with people enjoying stalls, a funfair and classic games like giant skittles.

Firemen from Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service brought along their fire trucks for children to enjoy while their parents experienced the weight of the gear they have to wear.

Volunteers from the Bishop Auckland outdoor spectacle Kynren showed off their horsemanship and demonstrated the work of a farrier, who hammered out horseshoes on an anvil.

Later in the afternoon children showed off their furry friends during the dog show where prizes such as waggiest tail and most unusual pet were award.

This was followed by traditional sports and races.
