FAMILIES are invited to a fête this summer bank holiday weekend to raise funds for a York charity.

The Snappy Trust event takes place on Saturday, August 26 at The Derwent Arms in Osbaldwick Village from 11am to 5pm.

There will be games stalls, a mega slide, as well as a barbeque and outdoor bar.

In the meantime, any budding young artists can set their imaginations free by entering the charity’s children’s colouring competition.

The trust’s mascot, Snappy Croc, can be given a makeover on a colouring sheet downloaded from the trust’s site, or collected from Totally Awesome Toy Shop on Colliergate in the city.

Completed collages, or colourings in, must be dropped off at the toy shop by the closing date of September 2.
