A handful of the most popular show rides will also be at the Morpeth festival.

Andrew Holden, event manager, said: “We continue to keep growing every year, constantly wanting to improve.

"Last year we introduced luxury toilets and showers for everyone and it was a huge success.

"We want to strive to put on a family festival with quality facilities and top quality artists, whilst keeping everything, including drinks, to a very reasonable price.

“We want to thank everyone who has supported us! We know we are now attracting folk from afar and that is testament to the hard working team we have in Morpeth.”
