Dalby Forest is located near Pickering and has 8,500 acres of woodland.

There are several activities for people to take part in, including walking, cycling, Park Run, Go Ape and childrens trails.

Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series held every summer by Forestry Commission England.

Money raised from ticket sales helps to look after the nation’s forests sustainably, for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive.
