A WEEKEND packed with entertainment and spectacular displays awaits visitors to this year's Wykeham Country Fair, near Scarborough.

Celebrity angler Gary Coxen is among some of the people expected at the annual event in July.

The Land of Prince Bishop's Birds of Prey and Falconry Display, the West Lanes Dog Display team, The Yorkshire Volunteers Band, carriage driving and a classic and vintage vehicle parade are among the attractions lined up for the centre ring.

Organisers also hope the shopping village featuring 150 stands and a food festival with a market place will also draw the crowds.

Licensed catering and ring side seating will be available and it is expected that many visitors will want to make a weekend of it.

Advance tickets are available for the event on July 19 and 20. They are priced £6 for adults, £4 for under 16s and OAPs and free for children under the age of four. For details, call the Country Fair Office on (01733) 866600.
