Knaresborough Castle is playing host to an open-air Moll Flanders production on Thursday, July 17.

The North County Theatre group, directed by Nobby Dimon, will be performing the bodice-ripping yarn which follows the life of a young girl who was an outlaw of her time.

Audiences are being urged to bring rugs, seats, picnics and plenty of warm clothing.

Tickets costing £7 for adults are available at Knaresborough Castle, Knaresborough Tourist Information Centre and the Royal Pump Room Museum and Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate, or by calling 01423 556188.
