But what would you have in yours if you could go back to your childhood?
We've planned a summer fair from the past with all of this in it.
There’s inflatables from Thorney Close, beat the keeper and the second hand stall at Seaham Hall, and hook a duck at Holy Trinity in 1974.
In 1979, there's hoop-la from Red House and a second hand stall at Cherry Knowle in 1984.
Get in the summer spirit and take a look at our Echo archive photos.
