Taking place on Wednesday, July 17, the event will raise funds for this Harrogate charity which does so much for the terminally ill and their loved ones.

The exhibits will be in avariety of different sizes, some of which will be already framed.

The event will also include Mr Malcolm Neesam, the renowned historian and author, who will attend the beginning of each session for 30 minutes to talk about the stories behind some of the photographs on display.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Mr Neesam’s popular book, Harrogate in 50 Buildings.
