“We’ve always been proud to support Yorkshire suppliers and our annual Yorkshire Day event showcases some of the quality, local produce available, whilst encouraging the local community to celebrate our wonderful county with us and sample some of the best of what Yorkshire has to offer,” Valerie Aston, co-director of the Proudfoot Group, said.

In addition to plenty of opportunities for product sampling, the day also offered prize draws, giveaways and face painting, as well as a raffle which raised £412.75 for the store’s Making a Difference Locally fund, which supports local causes with donations.
