It will take place on Sunday, August 29, at Field House on Bridlington Road, Driffield, from 3pm onwards.

RABI has provided 150 years of support to the farming community and National Cream Tea Week was launched as a new fundraising initiative to mark the occasion.

Cream Teas were chosen because, apart from being scrummy, the concept is also relevant to farming as three aspects of agriculture come together – arable (the flour for the scones); dairy (the cream); and fruit (the jam).

More information, or tickets can be obtained by contacting Sally Conner on 01964 541400.
