DATES for the return of some of west Dorset's biggest music events have been announced - so we thought now would be the perfect time to look back through some festival photos.

Guitars on the Beach will return to Lyme Regis in June, while Jurassic Fields is set for Bridport in July.

If anything will put a smile on your face on a dreary January day, it's sure to be memories of summer, sunshine, cider and music.

Here is a selection of photographs from the past few years at both of these popular events.
