This film was made in Owlerton, South Yorkshire. The film focuses on activities at a children's summer camp and religious ceremonies.  Exact dates of events are unknown, but the filmstock dates from 1942-1947.   People emerge from a tent with plates. There are shots of them lying on the grass in groups eating. Children sit in the grass too. Some children are shown peeling potatoes. A man cooks on an open fire. Children wash dishes with their backs to the camera. There is a shot of a road and a church behind it. Children walk around the road. A marching band is on the road. A panning shot is used to show women in uniform marching behind them. Back at the campsite, a group of men prepare food and other adults lie in the grass. Children play a game in the field. There are more shots of people eating on the ground. Outside a house, a child with a dog and adults individually approach the camera. This is followed by close-ups of their faces. They appear to be moving to a new house as there are many boxes in the garden. Other close-ups are then shown of a man in uniform, a vicar, amongst others. People ride on a small open-top children’s train. The camera also comes aboard the train.  Couples sit in rowing boats in a park pond.  Children, youths, and adults board a bus. At the campsite once again, a girl carries bedding. The children wear a uniform of a youth organisation (eg. Scouts or Guides). They stand in lines in front of the camera. Children in fancy-dress emerge individually from a building. There is a panning shot along the line of children. Children then wash dishes. Youths in uniform form a tunnel with their bodies and sticks at a wedding. The youths shower a married couple with confetti.  There are numerous close-up shots of guests at the wedding.  A ceremony begins. Children walk in a line in traditional clothes. A vicar speaks to the crowd.  There are a series of close-ups of those taking part in and watching the ceremony.   The vicar and other adults dress like women in head scarfs and hats.  Children in fancy-dress parade and stand in a line.  Flowers ae presented during the ceremony.   Children prepare to run around a maypole.  The ceremony seems to come to an end as the procession leaves.  There is another marriage at a church. Confetti is thrown in all directions. Back to the campsite again. Children prepare food and clean.  More children take part in a fancy-dress competition.  People stand around a fire at night.

The ceremony procession moves again. The main girls are shown in close-up. A vicar puts a bike in a shed. A small child is then placed in the back of car.  Women create miniature flower bunches for suit lapels.  A church procession moves down the aisle. Women carry babies behind them. A vicar baptises a child. Girls in uniform walk in the street with a brass band. There are then shots of the children and people who have come out to watch them.  Loads of sandwiches are made by adults at a large table.  People sit on the grass in a park while children play games. A competitive children’s race is run. Drinks are served to children in mugs. There are then shots of a men’s walking race. People stand and watch them on the street.  People gather to hear a marching band play.
