A community event first launched to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee is set to return for its fifth year.

Hambleton Jambleton, to be held at the Old Lane Recreation Area in Hambleton, North Yorkshire, on Saturday, June 13, has grown into a major fixture on the village calendar since its launch in 2022.

Cllr Maria Ferris of Hambleton Parish Council said: "Jambleton has been a real hit with the community from the very beginning and has grown every year since, with more and more people coming along to enjoy everything that we put on, but as it’s grown, it’s naturally become increasingly costly to run.

"The support that Banks and our other business backers are providing means we can keep running Jambleton as a free event for local people and we can’t wait to welcome everyone along to this year’s festivities."

Sponsored for a second year by developer The Banks Group, Jambleton will offer an afternoon of live music, family activities, and entertainment.

The Good Rhythm Drumming Circle will open the event at 1pm, followed by performances from several other bands.

Visitors can also enjoy inflatables, face painting, charity and craft stalls, and an ice cream van.

More than 1,500 people attended last year’s event.
