Ulverston's Ford Park celebrated ten years of Apple Day this weekend with its first ever dog show and return of its Bake Off.
Photographs from the day reveal how visitors brought their own apples to be pressed with people taking advantage of the sunshine.
The day saw plenty of children’s crafts, traditional games and some wonderful arts and crafts stalls in the Williams Room and on the terrace.
