ALL things Yorkshire will be celebrated at a family fun day in Marske, near Redcar on Saturday.
Fun-seekers are also being asked to get into the spirit of the day and dress up as either pirates or in Yorkshire-themed costumes.
It’s all part of the fourth Marske Traders Day, with the seaside town’s shopkeepers joining forces with local foodies and craftspeople in setting up stalls and bringing their own shops out into the open air.
The three previous days have proved so popular that the event has now more than doubled in size. Thirteen stalls tested the water at the first event last August, and now almost 30 stalls are set to bring their own festival buzz to the town.
Computer and IT specialist Garry Stonehouse of GbizIT, one of the event organisers, said: ““Previous days have been themed around summer, Halloween and spring, and this time we’re celebrating Yorkshire Day. We’re proud of our Teesside heritage, but also proud to be part of the ancient North Riding of Yorkshire.””
Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be at the event in Marske centre between 10am and 4pm and there will also be face-painting, a prize raffle and cream teas.
