Pooches and their ‘pawrents’ gathered in County Durham on Saturday an annual pet show.

Crowds descended on Barnard Castle this weekend for the annual meet in the town, with the pet show one of the events on the bill.

Families and their four-legged companions headed to the Lower Demesnes on Saturday (May 27) with events continuing across the Bank Holiday weekend.

Live music, a bar, fancy dress parade and family fun run for Cancer Research were all part of the programme.

The annual meet returned last year for the first time since the pandemic.

See our pictures of some of the dogs who attended the show.
