GALLERY: Terrier racing, giant tortoises and axe-throwing at Ripley Show
More than 6,000 people attended Ripley Show yesterday.
The event, which dates back to 1849, is a traditional village show held each year in the grounds of Ripley Castle.
Despite dark clouds, the day stayed mainly dry as visitors enjoyed everything from terrier racing to axe throwing and giant tortoises.
Organised by Ripley and District Agricultural and Horticultural Society on the second Sunday of August each year, there was also sheep dog trials, ferret racing and the judging of numerous animal classes and homemade produce.
Here are some photos from the day.
