ORGANISERS of a family fun day taking place this weekend hope to raise £21,000 for charity.
The event will be held at Ripon Racecourse from 10am to 7pm on Sunday.
Attractions include a funfair and fireworks display. There will also be a classic car show, motorbike and scooter display, fashion show, and live entertainers.
Fundraiser Simon Shaw is organising the event to raise money for local charities.
He said: "The way I have always raised funds is by putting fun into it."
One of the charities that will benefit from the event is Meningitis Research Foundation.
Mr Shaw said he was supporting the charity because friends, Steven and Tracy Windle, from Ripon, lost their son eight-year-old son Lee to pneumococcal meningitis and septicaemia in 1997.
