The Petuaria Community Forum is to host a celebration event in support of the Tour de Yorkshire on Thursay 2nd May. Located on the Burrs playing field, Welton Road, Brough, the main attraction will be a large pop-up screen and a marquee housing stalls selling local produce, refreshments, crafts and other products and services from local businesses.
The big screen will be showing live action from Stage 1 of the Men’s Race from its departure in Doncaster and along the length of the route which takes in Brough and Elloughton before continuing through Welton, North Ferriby and Swanland. Coverage will continue on to Beverley and over the Wolds to the finish line at Selby.
Local residents are invited to bring along picnic tables and chairs and make a day of it. The event will provide a real opportunity to bring local people, businesses and community groups together.
