Around 200 people flocked to Pateley Bridge recreation ground today for the town’s Picnic in the Park.

The free event, organised by Bewerley Parish Council and Pateley Bridge Town Council, invited locals to come down and have a picnic whilst enjoying music from three bands performing on the band stand.

Our roaming reporter Suzannah enjoyed tunes from Summerbridge and Dacre Silver Band and well-know local musicians Ant and Frank when she visited.

This was Ant and Frank in action.

Event manager, Tracey Dawson said:

“I’m just so pleased with how many people have come out. It’s all generations coming together and enjoying the weekend.”

The event ran from noon to 3pm today.
