SUMMER OF FUN IN NORTHALLERTON

 

WE’RE ALL SET FOR A SUMMER OF FUN

An exciting array of street entertainers is being lined up for a Summer of Fun in Northallerton.

Families will be able to enjoy a host of entertainers, including jugglers, stilt-walkers, comic-book heroes and sci-fi stormtroopers, on Wednesday and Saturday market days throughout the school holidays.

The acts will circulate throughout the town-centre in a programme designed by Northallerton Business Improvement District (BID) to delight shoppers and holidaymakers.

There will be a total of 11 event days starting on Saturday 24 July and running through to Saturday 28 August. Acts will be announced in advance so that families have the chance to meet and have selfies with their favourite characters.

“It’s a great way to put smiles on faces after such a tough year,” says BID manager Graham Bell. “There’s a big variety of acts and we plan to share the fun with our side streets and arcades.

“We know a lot of families will be having a staycation this summer and this will encourage them to enjoy everything we have to offer in Northallerton.”

Watch out for updates on the Love Northallerton website and social media platforms where details of forthcoming acts and appearance times will appear.

The Summer of Fun replaces the planned Jurassic Northallerton event, which was cancelled because of Covid restrictions.
