Gardens in a historic North Yorkshire village will be thrown open to the public this weekend.
The event in Crayke, near Easingwold, will run from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, April 7, and coincides with the blooming of thousands of daffodils which grow on the village green next to St Cuthbert’s Church and Crayke Castle.
About 12 private gardens will be open to the public, as well as a local history exhibition, a route map of significant architecturally important properties and a recently discovered Saxon burial ground.
Within the church, visitors will be invited to view a large-scale tapestry produced by residents depicting farming and village life over the years, and a recently donated and commissioned stained glass window created by award-winning artist Helen Whittaker illustrating the life of St Cuthbert.
There will be all day refreshments, a tombola and a children’s treasure hunt, plus a sale of wildflower seeds and plants and seed bombs.
Funds raised on the day will be used to support community projects within the village.
Admission is £5 for adults with under 16s free and dogs on leads welcome. Free parking is available at the sports/village hall, postcode YO61 4TZ.
