Thousands of people are to attend an annual family fun day this weekend.

The Big Day Out will take place at Suffolk New College's Suffolk Rural Campus in Otley on Saturday, May 11 between 10am and 4pm.

Billed as a mini country show, events will be taking place throughout the day, including live music, archery, arts and crafts, a barbecue, chef demonstrations, horse displays, dog shows, animal petting, outdoor games, face painting and more.

There will also be a variety of food vendors and organisations, as well as college departments showcasing what they do.

Charlotte Rossitter, the events co-ordinator at the college, said: "We first started our Big Day Out in 2005 and after 19 years, the event gets bigger and better every year.

“We can’t wait to welcome the community to our relaxed campus for a few hours of fun with all the family."

Tickets can still be ordered for free here, with a £5 car parking charge per vehicle.
