Unusual traditional North-East dishes go on display at Beamish Museum this weekend.

Platters, such as boar's head, pickled pigs feet and baked rabbit in custard, will be laid out by cooks to commemorate a huge feast.

The Harvest Home Supper was held every year to mark the end of the harvest. Traditionally, when the last sheaf of corn was stored away, the farmer or lord of the manor laid on a special celebration of food and drink as a way of thanking his workers.

This lavish feast is recreated at the County Durham museum's Pockerley Manor, with dishes set out in the decorated dining room.

There will also be a large corn dolly, known as a Durham Chandelier, hanging above the table and Northumbrian piper Dave Shaw will play popular tunes of the early 1900s.
