Despite stormy skies and downpours of rain, the third annual Yesteryear Festival attracted lots of visitors.
Held at Collop Gate Farm in Heywood, the festival is raises money for a variety of charities.
The event included stalls, vintage cars, crafts, vintage clothing, a fairground, re-enactments and agricultural exhibits.
Event organiser Alison McGuigan said: “We are in our third year now and we are getting bigger and better. Despite the weather, people have still come and we have more stalls and exhibitors than ever before.
“Over the last two years, we have raised over £30,000 so we are hoping to add another huge amount to that total this year.”
The charities that the money will be shared between are yet to be decided.
