A Stockton park will be reverberating to the sound of more than 400 engines as the annual Vehicle Rally gears up this weekend.

More than 400 exhibitors, 40 traders, a fun-fair and other attractions will be pulling in the crowds at Preston Park.

A huge selection of vintage vehicles and gleaming fire engines will be vying for attention with the likes of Dingle Fingle, who will be tearing round the park in his Hod-Rotter providing comic thrills for the crowd.

James Dylan's Stunt World will also be there to wow the audience with his death-defying stunts.

Derek Batchelor, Stockton Borough Council's events officer, said: "We do have a lot of exhibitors from the North-East, however, many will be coming from further afield such as Glasgow and Colwyn Bay, Shropshire, Lancashire, Cheshire as well as Yorkshire - making this a truly national event.

"This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the free entry into Preston Hall Museum and car parking is free too."
