Heels, hats and a mass of sharp suits will be making an appearance when Geordies turn out for one of the highlights of the year - the Northumberland Plate Day Festival.
The huge sporting event will begin at Gosforth Park on Thursday, June 29 with the main event - Plate Day - taking place on Saturday, July 1 and that's when the crowds really dress to impress. Plate Day is the finale of the three-day Northumberland Plate Festival which includes, besides the racing action, some cracking end-of-day music entertainment.
On the Friday there will be a 90s night with a live DJ set with Vernon Kay to wrap up the day. Then on Plate Day itself it will be singer-songwriter Tom Grennan who takes to the stage after the last race.
