FESTIVAL and event organisers will gather in Middleham at the weekend for a unique networking day.

The Richmondshire and Hambleton Festival and Events Forum is being held at the town’s Key Centre on Saturday (NOV 28).

It is open to everyone from experienced in organising events to those who may never have done anything but could be exploring the idea of holding something in their area.

The day will offer advice and information about new event publicity opportunities, as well as putting organisers in touch with each other to share good ideas and information.

It will also bring festival and event organisers together enabling arts officers to find out more about the different groups working in the two districts - and what is happening on the ground.

To book a place contact the arts development agency Air on 01969-625142 or info@airarts.org or Kate Staines on 01609-767203.

The event takes place from 1pm to 4pm.
