MARY Poppins and other childhood favourites are casting their magic spell to bring happy memories flooding back.
The Royal Pump Room Museum, in Harrogate, is holding an exhibition designed to delight all ages.
Childhood: From Perambulators to PlayStation will give visitors a glimpse of the carefree days when homework was the only cloud on the horizon.
Themes such as clothing, toys, games, school and hobbies are being explored in the show and items on display include toys dating back to the 19th Century as well as the more up-to-date playthings.
There will also be activities for the young, with a puppet theatre, toy chest, exhibition trail and the chance to dress up in the clothes of the past.
The exhibition begins on May 1 and when the doors open at 11am visitors will be met by characters such as Mary Poppins, Snow White and the Queen of Hearts.
The exhibition continues until next April. Admission will be £2.50 for adults, £1.25 for children and £1.50 concessions.
