Hundreds of people watched a free live screening of the Glastonbury festival in the grounds of Knaresborough Castle on Saturday.

The Party in the Castle saw friends and families turn up with their own food and drink and soak up the atmosphere in glorious weather.


Organised by volunteers from Knaresborough & District Chamber, the event proved hugely popular.

The chamber hopes it will be the first of annual community events in the castle, providing North Yorkshire Council grants permission to use the site.

Lead organiser and chamber member Kelly Young said:



“We were bowled over with the level of support both before and during the event and the feedback from the Knaresborough community has been fantastic. There was an amazing atmosphere and the whole place was like a big family party. 
"We feel so privileged to have been given the chance to bring the town together through music, against such a stunning backdrop as Knaresborough Castle. We also hope that the central location of the event, close to many local businesses, will have bought increased consumer spend to our community, as well as making it affordable for everyone to attend on any budget."


Cllr Hannah Gostlow, who represents Knaresborough West on North Yorkshire Council, helped to fund the TV through her councillor's Locality budget. A crowdfunding campaign also contributed to funds for the not-for-profit event.
