Bilton to host second Party on the Pitch
Bilton Cricket Club in Harrogate is to host a second Party on the Pitch this month.
Last year's first party, held as part of the late Queen's jubilee celebrations in June, was a big hit, attracting about 2,500 people.
If the second event is also successful it could become an annual event.
It could even replace Bilton Gala, which has not been held since 2019, as the community's main annual get-together, albeit on a smaller scale.
The party, which is free to enter, will be held on August 27 at the club's pitch on Bilton Lane.
Starting at 12.30pm, it will include four live bands from 3pm to 9pm, a hog roast and various children's entertainment, including a bouncy castle and a magician.

Club president Jane Blackburn said:
Ms Blackburn said she hoped the party would attract 2,000 people. Funds raised on the day will be divided between the club's £42,000 appeal to buy new cricket nets and Yorkshire Cancer Research.
The club has currently raised £23,000 towards its target. It hopes the new nets will be installed by April in time for next season.
