You can find out all about Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue on Saturday.

There's an open day at Dalby Forest Visitors Centre as part of the organisation's 60th anniversary celebrations.

Ryan Sargent is from Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue.

He explains what people can see on Saturday:

"We're taking all our vehicles that we've got available to the show to show off. We're gonna be bringing some CPR dolls so that people can try out some CPR.

"We're going to be having a stretcher with a vacuum mattress so people can see what's involved in. Getting put into a stretcher and how we carry people around and we're going to have some water rescue equipment like a little boat and some throw lines so people can have a practice at throwing some throw lines at a target."

The open day is from 10am-4pm.

Ryan says there's lots more in the pipeline to celebrate the organisation's 60th anniversary:

" So we've launched a coffee. We've partnered with Forge Valley Coffee Roasters in East Ayton, and they've roasted a coffee blend for us and they're donating 10% of every sale of that to a team, which is great. And we've also got a beer being brewed by Brass Castle Brewery in Malton and they're doing a similar thing with that to donate some of the proceeds from that to the team."
