Eggleston Carnival and Ingleton Fayre defied the weather to play host to stalls, games and festivities on Saturday, June 10.
Reeth Brass Band made the journey over to Eggleston for the day while Middleton and Teesdale Silver Band moved down the dale to Ingleton.
There were some impressive entries in the Eggleston fancy dress – all looked over by villagers Jack and Jean Oliver who celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary this year. Carnival secretary Suzanne Herbert said: “They have always been helpful at the carnival – the pair of them have been fantastic.”
Meanwhile, Ingleton welcomed a bumper entry in their increasingly popular dog show with displays from Walworth Castle Birds of Prey, exhibitions in dog agility and free dog healthcare checks.
Organiser Ian Kirkbride said this year’s fancy dress had been abandoned due to a lack of entries but the rain hadn’t stopped everything.
He added: “There weren’t enough children this year for the fancy dress which was a shame but we have a lot of dogs. You don’t have to be registered with a kennel club. It’s very low key and that’s been the attraction.”
