Yorkshire Day celebration to be held at Ripon's Salvation Army
Ripon-based singer-songwriter Freddie Cleary will provide the entertainment when The Salvation Army holds its Yorkshire Day celebration next week.
The event on Tuesday August 1, is being held in the church hall on Lead Lane from 10am until 2pm and is free to attend.
Church leader Pat Clark, said:
"We hosted a Yorkshire Day celebration pre-pandemic and it proved a great success, so we decided to organise another one this year."
She added:
"It's a way of reminding all members of the local community that we are here for them all year round, not just as an emergency service for those who find themselves in difficulties.
"On the day there will be lots of reasonably priced refreshments including home-made cakes, sausage rolls and sandwiches, scones provided by Morrisons and icecream."
In addition to the refreshments, brand new or good as new gifts, household items and toys will be on sale and there will be a uniform swap.
Families wanting to be involved in the swap are asked to take good clean items of uniform to the church hall in advance of Yorkshire Day. The hall is open from Monday to Wednesday between 9:30 am and 3 pm.
