A Knitted Street Party is being exhibited in Whitby's Pannett Art Gallery until Sunday June 12.

This joyous display, created by local knitters, is currently on show and attracting tremendous interest from visitors of all ages.

From children who are mesmerised by the scrumptious looking cakes and biscuits, to grandparents being inspired to teach their grandchildren to knit, the display is a delightful celebration of the creative skills of the community.
