Friarwood Music Festival at Pontefract's Valley Gardens this Saturday.

Around 4,000 people are expected to attend the event, which is organised by the Friends of Friarwood Valley Gardens.

Gates open at 1pm on Saturday August 8 and bands will perform in the main stage from 2pm.

Local bands set to appear on the main stage this year include Snowed In, Mithril, The Yum and Leanne Gonzalez.

There will also be an acoustic stage.

The event raises money for maintenance and improvements at the Valley Gardens.

It has been held every August since 2018, except during Covid in 2020.

Colin White, chair of the Friends of Friarwood Valley Gardens, said: "We also provide activities for the kids including rides, bouncy castle and silent disco, so it's a family event."

Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for children.
