Sarah Howsen, BID Manager said:
“Yorkshire Day was a great success last year even though the sun didn’t shine, and we are hoping this year will be a bigger success.
"There will be a full day of free family entertainment so we hope everyone will come along and celebrate what it is to be from Yorkshire.”
Everything taking place on the day is free of charge. The event is organised by Skipton BID and supported by Skipton Town Council.
