Knaresborough basks in sun and ale at Picnic in the Park
Almost 500 people attended Picnic in the Park in the gloriously sunny gardens of Knaresborough House this afternoon.
The free five-hour event, which featured four live bands and two DJs, is a highlight of the town's 10-day arts festival Feva.
Knaresborough Lions Beer Festival was held alongside the picnic.
Knaresborough has been decked in Feva pink for the annual late summer festival.
It ends tomorrow with Harrogate Spa Town Ukes playing on the High Bridge gardens and a poetry evening at Mother Shipton's Inn.
The beer festival also finishes tomorrow at Knaresborough House.
Feva chairperson Gwen Lloyd, who has attended dozens of events during the festival, said she was delighted with how it has gone:
