This is a film made by Vaughan and Co. of Hull of a garden party in Thorngumbald, East Yorkshire. The film begins showing the Thorngumbald Recreation Club Notice Board, with the village coat of arms.  A fancy dress procession of adults and children makes its way through the village, past the Methodist Church.  One man in fancy dress holds a copy of the ‘Pansy Story Book’.  One man dressed as a baby is pulled along in a cart by eight women dressed in white and carrying bouquets of flowers.  Through a microphone on a rostrum, the man then addresses the assembled villagers who have gathered in a large garden.  Those in fancy dress line up in front of him, many play-acting, putting on a comic performance for the audience.  Two other men, not in fancy dress, then address the audience.  People sit in chairs watching, some with prams.  A woman stands in front of a table which has a cake.  Those in fancy dress pose for the camera, while someone else also sets up a camera on a tripod.  Tables line the garden with food and other items.  Some have a game of bowls, and there is also a game of hoopla, a darts game and putting.  Others just sit at tables having tea.
