THE chairman of Cawood Craft Festival, David Jones, is using the Grand Depart of the Tour de France to publicise two events in Cawood.

David has painted an old bike in yellow and decorated it with flowers.

Now it is the centre of attention in his front garden in Great Close.

The two events being held in the village are an open gardens weekend on July 12 and 13 and a bike trail at the popular village three-day craft festival during the August bank holiday weekend.

David said: “Although we are using the cycle race as publicity, the bike trail is just to replace the scarecrows festival we usually hold during the craft weekend.”
