FAMILIES are encouraged to descend on Keighley's Cliffe Castle Park and Museum for a "magical" day of fairies and dragonflies.

The popular venue will be transformed on Sunday, July 17.

People are invited to dress up and go along for a range of activities, between 11am and 3pm.

"Use a sprinkling of magical fairy dust and the mystical power of dragonflies to find out where they live and go on a hunt for their special doors," said a spokesperson.

"Take part in outdoor arts and crafts and look out for the dancing fairies. There will also be face painting and fairy stalls."

The event is being organised by Bradford Council’s parks department and its museums and galleries service, in conjunction with Cliffe Castle Support Group and Keighley Healthy Living.

Keighley Lion’s Den, a peer-to-peer support group, has created the fairy and dragonfly doors.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, the council’s executive member for healthy people and places, said: "I’m sure families will have a great time exploring the museum and park area, looking for fairies and dragonflies and trying to spot where they live. With arts, crafts and dancing fairies, I hope lots of people come dressed up for this magical day."
