The event usually takes place in September and raises thousands of pounds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

A daytime static display, evening ‘light parade’ and fireworks usually attracts 10,000 spectators from across the borough and beyond.

Given the current government coronavirus restrictions preventing large gatherings, the difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2020 event.

The Goldwings for Life Club members volunteer their time and put a huge effort into the event. As a result, it has been very popular for many years

Last year, a record £11,200 was raised to support the work of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA).
