OFFICIALS at St James's Church, Selby, are holding a free barbecue this Saturday - and everyone is welcome.

The family fun event will be held in the church grounds between 11.30am and 1.30pm and attractions include face painting, puppets and a bouncy castle.

Associate minister, the Rev Margaret Cundiff, said: "We've had a big clean-up of the church grounds and it should be lots of fun. Everybody is welcome and it won't cost them a penny."
