Many entries have already been submitted, including: pirates, ‘time lords’, animals, fairies and cartoon characters.

Julie Sanders, chairperson of FFPF, said: “Last year we held our first festival and it was a great success, attracting many visitors from far afield and press and TV coverage.

“Last year’s event was just for fun but this year we are hoping to raise funds to support Flamborough Pre-School.
