A FARMER is opening up his barn to members of the public for the seventh year running, to raise funds for charity.
The annual Barn That Rocks event has become a labour of love for Peter Fall, 70, and wife, Barbara, who now combine the daily chores that come with running the Grazingnook Farm, near Patrick Brompton, close to Bedale, with organising an annual musical extravaganza.

The event, featuring live bands, a fully stocked bar and local food, has raised more than £30,000 for local charities in the past six years, including Great North Air Ambulance, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and local branches of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
And this year, on June 10, The Barn That Rocks, which attracted more than 800 people in 2016, is set to benefit the Friends of The Friarage Hospital in Northallerton.
Tickets for the event, from 7pm to 1am, are £12.50, from the farm, Rhubarb and Roses, Bedale, Crakehall Filling Station, Andy’s Traditional Bakers of Leyburn, Inktoprint Northallerton, Food Weighhouse, Bedale and Corks and Cases Masham.
