The countdown is now on for the Filey emergency services family fun day.

The very best of the emergency services, including North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, HM Coastguard, Yorkshire Ambulance, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and North Yorkshire Police, will be showcased during the event.

It will be staged on Filey Sports Field between 10am and 4pm on Sunday 20th August.

Inspector Andy Short, of Filey and Eastfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This year’s event is shaping up to be really exciting with live displays, demonstrations, and there is a chance for children and their families to get up close and personal with vehicles and equipment.

“There will be so much for people to do and, most importantly, it won’t break the bank as entry is free.

“We’re hoping to exceed last year’s record 4,000 visitors. The interest that has already being shown by exhibitors and the public reaction has been overwhelming.

“People of all ages will also experience ‘all the fun of the fayre’, with the expansion of the event to include roundabouts, a buzz bomb and miniature train rides. Not to mention lots to eat and drink.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone.”
