YOUNGSTERS have been sampling toys and games of yesteryear as part of a half-term event.
Playing in the Past has been taking place at Crook Hall, Durham, this week until Friday.
Families are trying out a range of old-fashioned toys, including hoops, quoits, whips and tops, boulers, marbles and yo-yos, to gain a flavour for what youngsters did for amusement in a bygone age.
Staff are also on hand to organise games like Ring o' Roses, Oranges and Lemons, and Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.
Crook Hall and Gardens are open from 1pm to 5pm every day except Saturday, and entry is £4 for adults, £3.50 for concessions and £11.50 for families.
