The Yorkshire Day Festival .. which started this morning, gets under way tommorrow August 2, when Skipton’s Urban Beach opens to the public at the Canal Basin off Coach Street. The basin will be transformed into an East Coast holiday resort with everything from Punch and Judy, deckchairs and beach huts, to donkeys, doughnuts and candy floss. There will be plenty of sand, too, with buckets and spades to go with it. The beach will be in place for three full days – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – and will be open from 10am each day. This evening Skipton Building Society Camerata has organised a Night at the Opera event at Skipton Town Hall. Sunday will be the culmination of the celebrations with the Festival of Yorkshire on the High Street from 10am until late. There will be thousands of free bags of Seabrook’s crisps on offer, accompanied by free cups of Yorkshire Tea. All events are free.
