Ripon is preparing for a bank holiday street party after Knaresborough took centre stage yesterday.

Knaresborough Spring Fayre saw thousands of people visit the sun-bathed Market Place.

The activities included a free petting farm, a free craft tent, fairground rides, a spring window competition, a magician and an appearance by the Easter bunny.

It was the second time the spring fayre has been staged by Knaresborough Business Collective, which was set up by a group of small businesses to make the town centre more vibrant.

Yesterday's event certainly had the town buzzing for the entire six hours from 10am to 4pm.

Collective member Natalie Horner said:

"It was such a brilliant day and a huge success for both the event itself and the shops in town too.
"The weather was lovely and it was so nice to see so much community spirit and joy in town."

The Nailery won the spring window competition.



The forecast looks a little less kind for tomorrow's street party on Kirkgate in Ripon, but spirits will no doubt be equally high.

Kirkgate will be closed to traffic from 10am to 4pm while residents and visitors enjoy live music, al fresco dining and entertainment.

The event is part of the Totally Locally scheme being adopted by traders and Ripon Business Improvement District to encourage people to spend with independent businesses in the city.
