PUPPET shows and storytelling kept youngsters at Lower Shaw Farm spellbound.

The Children And Families Day on Sunday saw a series of workshops for all ages throughout the day.

Author James Carter brought poetry and guitar playing together in a writing and performing session.

Puppets and dragons then told the story of George and the dragon with hurdy-gurdy musical accompaniment by the Damsel In Distress.

For the younger ones, there was Splish Splash Splosh, an interactive play session for three to six-year-olds.
