Local organisations and groups helped with the decorations and school children created the 4ft tall display spelling out ‘FRIARWOOD FESTIVAL’.

Rachel Riley, one of the organisers, said: “The day was incredible, we had roughly 4,000 people throughout the day, it was a huge success.

“All thanks go to the Friends of Friarwood Valley Gardens and volunteers who helped before the festival and on the day.

Pontefract has a great community, everyone pulled together. Huge thanks to sponsors and volunteers, teamwork makes the dreamwork! We’ll need more volunteers for next year.”
