In pictures: 23rd Victorian Weekend at Robin Hood's Bay
Ladies and gentleman in their Sunday finest rubbed shoulders with young chimney sweeps and the odd smuggler or two as enthusiastic locals prepared for a fancy dress competition judged by Queen Victoria herself.
Carol singers in period costume spread festive cheer throughout the weekend, while the bravest souls signed up for a storytelling walk with ghostly tales to chill the bones.

Music was very much at the heart of the event, ranging from a traditional folk night and organ music to shanty music and a roving accordion player.
The weekend, which is organised by volunteers and the Robin Hood’s Bay Tourism Association, was widely supported by local businesses.
They included Baytown Beers and the Victoria Hotel, which teamed up to host the second Baytown Beer Festival.
Paul Johnston, of Baytown Beers, also led a walk highlighting the hidden smuggling secrets of numerous village cottages.
