In addition, the Cedarbarn train, The James Cook, will be running on the miniature railway with guest miniature steam trains, and Pickering Guides will be running pre-loved book and nearly new toy stalls. Entry is free, but there is a charge for activities.
"We're incredibly grateful to Victory Lodge No. 4042 for sponsoring the event and are looking forward to a fun-filled day as the Race Day grows ever closer. We've got another £3,000 to raise to reach our fundraising target of £25,000, so it would be great if people could come along and support one of our last fundraisers," said Mr Avison.
