Brilliant sunshine, beautiful scenery and a packed programme drew a vast number of visitors to Marsh Farm at Castleton on August Bank Holiday Monday

An ever-popular High Peak celebration of the countryside and the past farming year, Hope Show delivered just what the crowds had come for with displays, classes and competitions that included sheepdog trials, gundogs, show jumping, horticulture and crafts. A glorious, if tiring, day for all.
