HARDWORKING youngsters have been showcasing their practical skills as part of this year's Suffolk Show.

Apprentices from Suffolk New College were holding demonstrations in everything from bricklaying and beauty therapy to furniture making and catering.

Motorcycle maintenance and repair students also dished out advice as part of a practical workshop.

Meanwhile for those with a sweet tooth there were demonstrations on cup cake icing and decorating along with family activities such as creating marzipan shapes and learning how to fold different napkin designs.

The hair and beauty team was also available to bring a touch of style - using brightly coloured gels and hair strands to transform people's hairstyles and creating exciting nail art designs through mini manicures.

The demonstrations will continue tomorrow at the Suffolk Skills stand.
