GIGGLESWICK School is teaming up with author Frances Brody at next week's Great Yorkshire Show.

The school will have a stand at the Harrogate showground throughout the three-day event, which starts on Tuesday and is expected to attract thousands of visitors.

The author of the Kate Shackleton mystery books will be on the stand on Tuesday, sharing information about her book, Death in the Stars, which is set in Giggleswick in 1927, when the Yorkshire Dales village was the best place in the UK to see the total solar eclipse.

Giggleswick School headteacher Mark Turnbull said: “We are pleased to welcome Frances to our stand as she promotes her latest book, which uses our school and surrounding area as its location. We are looking forward to meeting lots of people at the show, which promises to be as ‘great’ as ever.”
