A EVENING of music, dancing and food will be held at one of North Yorkshire’s top tourist attractions later this month.

Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal will host its first Summer Soiree on Saturday, June 30, with Pimms and canapes from 6pm as visitors arrive at the walled garden opposite Fountains Hall, with music from harpist Georgina Wells, while behind-the-scenes guided tours will also be available.

A barbecue will be served at Fountains Restaurant before dancing to music by The Roosters ceilidh band.
