Members of a Victorian group stepped out in style to publicise a park renovation project.
Members of the Saltburn Victorian Society turned out in costume for the Victorian Gala Day at Ropner Park, in Stockton. There were stalls, entertainment and pony and trap trips around the park.
The Friends of Ropner Park organised the event to help raise money to run the new cafe pavillion, which is due to open later this summer, but they also hoped to raise the park's profile.
The park is undergoing a £3.4m refurbishment, and the first phase is nearing completion.
Replica gates have been installed, and a bandstand - an exact copy of the original - will be ready in September.
A children's play area is to open this summer, along with the restored fountain.
