THE York Irish Association came together on Saturday for some St Patrick's Festival fun - celebrating all things Irish.

The event took place in a marquee in St. Sampson's Square in the city centre - and the activities were all about celebrating and continuing to bring an understanding of Irish tradition and culture to York, bringing fun and enjoyment to the city for people of all ages who have an interest in Irish culture and celebrating the unique connections between York and Ireland.
