A FESTIVAL of music and speech has opened its doors to more participants.

The 95th Wensleydale Tournament of Speech and Song, which takes place in March, will be open to all, rather than to those within 25 miles of Leyburn.

The closing date for entries is January 10.

There are many varied classes for children as well as adults.

More details are available by calling (01969) 663368.
