City of York Council is inviting local families to West Bank Park for a funfilled afternoon, to celebrate the second national 'Love Parks' week (16-24 June).

West Bank Park Summer Fair, which takes place on Sunday 24 June, has been organised in conjunction with the Friends of West Bank Park and boasts a wide variety of exciting attractions and activities that will appeal to people of all ages.

This year will see the return of family favourites such as the falconry flying display, fun dog show, and face painting as well as other attractions such as a fair organ, street sports sessions, model railway, cars and aeroplanes, nearly 30 community stalls, bouncy castle , wood carver  and loads more. There will also be a folk band, brass band and youth choir to cater for all tastes

Stephen Whittaker of the council's Parks and Open Spaces team, said: "Last year is a hard act to follow with our biggest turn out or people yet for this event. This year we have even more attractions so it will be tricky fitting it all in! Fingers crossed for the weather but if  it rains  just bring a brolly!"

Admission to the event is free of charge and the event will be open to the public between 1pm and 4pm. Parking is limited to local streets so please leave your car at home.

West Bank Park is situated off Acomb Road and Hamilton Drive in the Holgate area of York.
