Crowds have immersed themselves in agriculture, farming and food at this year's Northumberland County Show.

The annual event is a must for many across the North East and signifies the beginning of the summer season, with a whole host of entertainment on offer. The fair kicked off on Saturday and featured a wide variety of exhibitions and displays, including livestock competitions, equestrian events, and agricultural demonstrations.

Run by the Tynedale agricultural society, it takes place in the village of Bywell, near Stocksfield, in the grounds and parklands surrounding Bywell Hall. Once inside the showground, families and visitors were treated to more than 300 traders, animal displays, live music, and a lot more as organisers aimed to showcase the best of North East agriculture.

Here are 20 pictures of the Northumberland County Show 2024:
