FAMILIES in Sedgefield turned out at the weekend for the 35th medieval fair on the village green.

The Aidensfield bus from the television series Heartbeat was one of the many attractions at the event on Saturday, which also included knights on horseback demonstrating combat techniques and a punch and judy show.

Entertainment was also held at the Ceddesfeld Hall, in Sedgefield, and dancing displays were performed by the Easington Colliery Band, Tyne Bridge Morris, Black Sheep Morris, Palatine Clog Morris and Sedgefield County Junior School.

The annual tug of war competition between pubs and schools also added to the day's festivities.
