Flags and colourful logos adorned shop fronts in Barnard Castle this week as part of a “small world” multicultural festival organised by mayor Rima Chatterjee.
The event, which has also raised funds for Wetheriggs Animal Rescue, aims to celebrate the diversity of Teesdale.
As well as the shop front displays, the festival has included art workshops, performances by school pupils, live music and cooking demonstrations.
