As excitement builds for the return of Cardigan's iconic Barley Saturday stallion show and parade this weekend, we take a look back at the pictures from the 2019 event.
The showpiece event draws hundreds of people to Cardigan, and is seen as one of the highlights of the Ceredigion calendar.
In 2019, the last event before the Covid pandemic resulted in its cancellation in 2020 and 2021 - before returning in 2022 - photographer Julie John took some great pictures.
It is believed Barley Saturday has its origins in the middle of the 19th century and served as a half-yearly hiring fair of farm servants.
It celebrated the end of the sowing season, with barley being the final cereal sown, and has been traditionally held on the last Saturday in April.
The event was disbanded during World War Two, but in 1961 a group of town business people decided to resurrect the event.
Barley Saturday saw farmers from surrounding area come to town to hire workers and to inspect stallions that are put out to stud.
These days the horses are the centre of attention, and after the judging of the horse competitions, crowds gather to watch the horses parade through the town.
The horses are followed by of vintage cars, motorbikes, tractors, carriages, milk floats and gypsy wagons.
