RESIDENTS can enjoy a fun-packed afternoon in Fulford on Bank Holiday Monday.

The annual Fulford Show is once again being held to raise money for local and national charities.

It will take place between 1pm and 5pm on the School Lane playing field and in the Social Hall, Fulford.

The show will feature an array of activities and attractions for people to enjoy.

There will be a tug-of-ward challenge, miniature railway, beer tent, Japanese drumming, a variety of charity stalls, tombola, face painting, family sports, musical entertainment, food and refreshments. Stall spaces are available for hire.

Keith Aspden, chairman of the show, who is also a councillor for Fulford and Heslington, said: “I would thoroughly recommend that residents come along, enjoy the day and help raise money for local and national charities.

“2017 was a great year for the Fulford Show and I am confident that 2018 will be another fantastic show. The hard work and dedication of the people involved is crucial to what makes the Fulford Show such an excellent local event.”

The show will also include a craft and produce exhibition and competition at the Social Hall, which adults and children can take part in.

Classes include bakery, photography and painting, beer and winemaking, flowers, vegetables and arts and crafts. Exhibits should be brought to the Social Hall, between 8.30am and 10.15am on the day of the show. Entry forms are available on the day, or at any time from the exhibits page on the Fulford Show website - www.fulfordshow.org.uk.

Entry to the show is free, but it will cost 50p to visit the exhibition at the Social Hall.

Parking is provided by Fulford School, off Fulfordgate, and St Oswald’s Primary School, off School Lane.

The show has been run annually for more than a century.
