Fun for all ages as Birstwith Show returns this weekend
Children's entertainment will take centre stage as an annual village show returns to Nidderdale this weekend.
Birstwith Show takes place on Saturday, July 29 and has introduced a number of new features this year after asking for feedback from the community.
Show committee member Amy Howard said:
Also new this year will be a dog and duck display in the main ring, along with the usual popular mix of entertainment.
Children's races, a tug-o-war, a dog show with Miss Mollies Rescue, and live music through the day and into the evening are also on the programme.
Another new feature will be food demonstrations, including two by the Little Yorkshire Scone company. As well as showing how to make savoury scones, the company will demonstrate recipes to use up leftovers.
Ms Howard said the schedule of classes has proved popular this year, with Birstwith Primary School and other village organisations getting involved. She added:
The tents and marquees are all in place thanks to the team of volunteers, and trade stands, food and drink stalls will be ready to welcome visitors from noon on Saturday.
Soldiers from the Army Foundation College will be on hand to help with parking and traffic management on the day.
Entry is £7.50 on the gate or £7 in advance via the website, until midnight on Friday.
