SPRING sunshine helped attract visitors to a bustling Otley Green Fair.

The 2017 event was held on Earth Day - Saturday, April 22 - at Otley Courthouse and featured a variety of stalls from community, campaign and advice groups.

Younger visitors also got a chance to make 'grass heads' at a children's workshop while local Morris dancing side, The Buttercross Belles, provided entertainment in the Courtyard.

Hazel Costello from Otley Courthouse said: "There was a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a steady stream of visitors throughout the day.

"There was certainly lots of interest from members of the public in nature, the environment, green and environmental issues and there were plenty of opportunity for networking, too.

"The children's workshops provided creative opportunities for visiting children and families and the food was much appreciated.

"Many thanks to Bondgate Bakery for supplying such a delicious selection and to all the Courthouse volunteers who helped make the day such a success."

Groups taking part in the fair, which was free to enter, included the Woodland Trust, Otley Welcomes, Leeds Vegetarian and Vegan Society, Wharfedale Beekeepers and the Friends of Gallows Hill.
