We’re bringing the whole community together for what promises to be a fantastic Yorkshire Day celebration at Pontefract RUFC. Whether you’re a club member, parent, player, supporter or simply looking for a great family day out, there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy.
Ladies Day
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to buy a new outfit, then look no further. The glitz & glamour hits Ponte Carlo on Wednesday 5th August. With an array of hats, fascinators and stilettos, the ladies of Yorkshire truly do ‘dress to impress’ in an effort to win the coveted Best Dressed Lady Competition kindly sponsored by RIU Hotels and Resorts.
Friarwood Festival is a family friendly, community music festival, raising funds for the upkeep and maintenance of Friarwood Valley Gardens in Pontefract. Enjoy local bands and artists, delicious street food, bars and plenty of kids entertainment.
All for one – and one for all! Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a thrilling adventure. He must retrieve the Queen’s jewels, restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadly Milady de Winter.
Set against a sweeping panorama of 1600s France at war, The Three Musketeers is a whirlwind of excitement, comedy and ingenious storytelling.
