HELMSLEY in Business is thanking the town’s community for its help in fundraising throughout 2017.

A series of fundraising events took place last year specifically to raise funds for some new Christmas lights for the town.

These included quiz nights and gin tastings, along with a demonstration at the National Centre for Birds of Prey.

There was also a Christmas prize draw and collection boxes around the town.

This helped raise almost £2,700 for new lights which will be bought for the festive season later this year.
