A family summer spectacular will be staged today to celebrate the best of North Yorkshire's coastal towns.
The Eastfield Festival of Summer Fun will feature a variety of activities taking place across the community, including Link Walk, High Street and Burnside field.
The aim is to bring together people of all ages to celebrate everything good about living in Eastfield in an event that is bigger and better than anything the community has seen before.
The summer celebration has grown out of the Eastfield Community Christmas Event on the High Street in December last year, which attracted more than 1,500 residents.
It's success prompted community partners to create something even bigger and better with the aim being to stage an affordable day out for residents.
The new Community Shop, which redistributes surplus food and household items is set to launch it's shop and cafe today, with a craft fair being hosted on it's brand new premises.
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for economic development and regeneration, Cllr Derek Bastiman, said:
“The strength of any community is in its people, and this is a fine example of a community coming together, working to display its pride and potential.
“With this event we are addressing concerns about a lack of facilities in Eastfield by showing what can be done when the community works together. Our role is to facilitate and motivate the community to organise something that can be repeated and built on in years to come.”
The event is funded by Eastfield PACT and Eastfield Town Council. Key partners are Carers Plus Yorkshire, Eastfield Residents Association, More Than Books, the Legacy Community Centre, Sparks, which supports people in getting into the job market, Stephen Joseph Theatre, which will host circus skills on the day, and North Yorkshire Council.
It get's underway from 10am - 4pm
