ALL the fun of the fair is on the way to Northallerton - and this year it coincides with the Tour de Yorkshire coming to town.

The annual May Fair runs from May 3 to 7 while the third stage of the big bike race rolls through on May 5.

Officers from Hambleton District Council are now putting the finishing touches to plans to manage the fair and the tour.

Parking, together with bus and taxi collection points, is changed from May 2 at 6pm until May 8 at 8am. Parts of the High Street between Zetland Street and All Saints Church will be closed during the fair’s opening hours. Diversions will be posted.

Bus stops will move to Zetland Street for northbound services and outside the library for southbound services. The town hall taxi rank will move to Zetland Street.

The Saturday market will relocate to the southern end of the High Street and there will be extra road closures on May 5.
