If walking around haunted castles and abbeys is just too cold for you then Betty's in York is offering you a more civilised option. Ghost stories, whichcraft and folk talkes from the area will be told by candlelight during a two course meal and of course tea and cofee and handmade chocolates. Tickets cost £27.50 Cally Betty's to book.
Bunker 13 is still on at Magna Science Centre. Well worth a visit.

For Scooter fans, the National Scooter Rally is on at Bridlington, there will be lots of scooters, music and loved bands over the weekend.

Freedom Festival and Burton Agnes Fete

September already, what happened?
Hull's Freedom Festival starts tonight Thursday 1 Sep and lasts until Saturday evening.
There is lots on from a French street-theatre company, Luc Amoros to open air movies in the Freedom Gardens. Lets hope the weather is better than last weekend. There are music stages and performance art such as Fenech Soler and Alice Gold. There is also chance to try exclusive Freedom Ale, created by Great Newsome Brewery. Visit www.freedomfestival.co.uk for more details.

In addition to Freedom festival there is the more civilised Burton Agnes Fete on Sat and Sunday 3rd and 4th Sep with vintage fairground rides, giant garden games and the required coconut shy.

Beer Beer and more Beer

After a few weeks of events and activities for the children in this lovely East Yorkshire area, I thought it was best to concentrate on the adults especially as it is Fathers' Day (just in case anyone has forgotten).

In South Cave this week is the South Cave Beer Festival. It starts at 4pm on Saturday 18^th June in the Bull Field. There is a great selection of real ales and some music to listen to as you savour the pints.

For more of the emphasis on music then a must this weekend (17-19 June) is the Beverley Folk Festival. It is really worth going, you can get day tickets as well as tickets for the whole weekend.

Taking place in September is the much larger Hull Beer Festival. It is always best to get there on the first day as the best beers have a habit of selling out.

On the 8th and 9th July there is the excellent Moonbeams Wold Top Festival and 26th to 28th August there is Galtres Festival with more great real ales and music including The Levellers and The Charlatans.

Music, beer, music and more beer, maybe even the odd pint of cider, who can ask for more?
