MORE children than usual took part in the annual Grassington Feast Sports.
Open to youngsters from Grassington, Linton and Threshfield, the event was held in glorious sunshine and attracted several newcomers.
Parents said they enjoyed the old-fashioned sports day and the unusual teacake race, where children have to eat a dry teacake and then whistle!
