The 108th Wharfedale Festival of Performing Arts attracted a high standard of entries from talented performers across Wharfedale, as well as further afield in West and North Yorkshire.

Coachloads of children from many schools descended on the venues in Ilkley between May 10 and 17, for competitive speech, drama and music classes.

There were also classes for grown-up performers, and a number of workshops held during the week.

A Celebration Concert will take place at Christchurch, The Grove, Ilkley, on Wednesday (June 4) starting at 7pm, at which major festival trophies will be presented.

Tickets for the concert are £5, to include light refreshments, and are available from Grove Music, at the Grove Bookshop, and on the door.
