2020 Events
Many of the fabulous local events we know and love, such as the Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink Festival in July, Gargrave Show in August and Skipton’s Yarndale Festival in September, have been cancelled in 2020 due to the Coivd-19 pandemic.
As we hear about re-scheduled events, we will update you via our News and Blog page, and via our Facebook page.
