Sunday, 21 August 2022 07:00

By Matthew Pells

The emergency services will be in Filey today for the town's annual fun day.

The event on Filey Sports field will see all the emergency services showing off their kit, and as Allan Skillbeck from the police explains The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is also expected to make an appearance.

The event at Filey Sports field will see a range of emergency service vehicles on display.

Allan says it's an important way to connect local people with their emergency services.

The event runs from 11am until 4pm, the air ambulance is expected at around midday

Sergeant Vicky Quigley of Filey Neighbourhood Police, said:

“It’s all coming together now, and we can’t wait.  There will be so much for people to do and most importantly it won’t break the bank as entry is free.
“This year’s event looks as if it is going to be even better than last year and we are expecting exceed over 4,000 visitors.  The interest that is already being shown by exhibitors and the public reaction has been overwhelming.
“All ages will also experience all the fun of the fair with the expansion of the event to include roundabouts, a buzz bomb and miniature train rides. Not to mention lots to eat and drink”.

Children and their families will be given a unique chance to get up close and personal with North Yorkshire Police vehicles and equipment and even get behind the wheel of a fire engine.

Live displays are also being staged by HM Coastguard, Yorkshire Ambulance and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
