ST Nicholas Fields in York is hosting its autumn fayre on Saturday, from 1pm to 5pm.
People are invited to the St Nick's Environment Centre and Nature Reserve, off Hull Road, to help celebrate the harvest, the city’s green spaces and World Mental Health Day.
The family-friendly event will include produce tastings, a scarecrow contest, mini-massages and scything demonstrations.
Cake lovers can help to raise money for St Nicks by judging a ‘Bake-off: Apple versus other local fruit’. For a tasting fee, judges can indulge in several cakes, including three made locally, by Trinacria Cafe, Brunswick Organic Nursery Cafe and Mair's Delicatessen.
Visitors can also enter their own homemade cakes, taste Yorkshire cider and other refreshments, and there will be stalls from other green spaces and organisations.
St Nicks is York’s centre for nature and green living. It runs various projects, events and services, including community recycling and ecotherapy for people recovering from mental ill health.
