Flower power, live music and VWs galore

Hundreds of VW vehicles will roll into Alnwick this weekend as the Mighty Dubfest takes place.

Held in the Pastures, with Alnwick Castle in the background, the event will see a weekend of music, family entertainment, trade stands, food, drink and VWs on show.

The festival is being held in Alnwick for the second year running after huge success in 2015, when it moved to the town after a four-year stint at Druridge Bay.
