Day Out and Fete


A brass band and display of Scottish country dancing are the attractions on this trip to Rivington Hall Barn in Lancashire. A group of disabled people than departs in a specially adapted vehicle, and the film moves on to a jumble sale and fete where actor Bernard Youens - Coronation Street's Stan Ogden - delights fans and signs autographs in between the busy cake and bric-a-brac stalls.
