This home movie features a garden fete held in the grounds of the Watson-Armstrong family home at Bamburgh Castle in 1931. The film opens with shots of a large gathering of people in the grounds of Bamburgh Castle. Two portly men talk together. An elderly woman (Baroness Armstrong?), dressed in her best clothes and sporting an elaborate hat and a walking cane, walks slowly by. Two small boys appear to mimic the adults and generally joke around. They laugh and look towards camera, one keeping his hands in his pockets and the other with a mischievous grin. People are gathered around a stall by the castle walls. Baron and Baroness Watson-Armstrong stand at a hoopla stall with a small crowd. Baron Armstrong is poised to throw a ring at prizes on the stall. The Baron and his wife walk past the camera towards the castle entrance. End scenes of many people still gathered in the courtyard.
