Head to the Mayor’s Medieval Family Fun Day

Knaresborough’s mayor, Margy Longhurst, is ending her mayoral year offering a treat for local families with a Medieval Family Fun Day.

There will also be craft demonstrations and a bestiary workshop where you can find out about Medieval fantastic beasts.

Margy said:

The aim of the event is to raise money for the Mayor’s charities: the Knaresborough Museum Association and The Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag, but I also want people to have fun and to learn more about Knaresborough’s exciting Medieval past.
