An afternoon of family fun awaits residents and visitors at the third annual Acomb Green Summer Fair this Saturday (25 August).

Why not come along for the falconry display showcasing birds of prey including owls and eagles. Or enter your pooch in the ‘Doggy X Factor’ competition which is free to enter with prizes to be won for the community’s most appealing canines.

Not just that, but the fair will include a bouncy castle, the council’s mobile climbing wall, live music, free sports activities, refreshments – including ice-cream, that summer fair essential – henna tattoos, community stalls for fund-raising and information on local groups..

The fair will run from 1pm-3:30pm and admission to the event and many activities are free of charge. Acomb Green is situated on Wetherby Road/York Road near Front Street. There will be no parking available on site.
