The Reeth Show returned for another August bank holiday Monday and pulled in crowds from all over the area.

The annual North Yorkshire event is a traditional Yorkshire Dales agricultural show in the picturesque surroundings of Swaledale.

It boasts a great selection of trade and entertainment stands for all the family, from candyfloss and bouncy castles to tractors and a licensed bar.

The show got underway when the Reeth Brass Band paraded through the village, headed by the Show Committee and Judges, to finish in the showground where the band entertained the crowds for the day.
