With dancing, friendly animals, songs and silliness, two York shows are tops for family fun this month.

With projects like I Can Play!, Minster Minstrels and Music4U, the National Centre for Early Music is constantly staging opportunities for creative youngsters to have fun with music.

And two events in October are perfect for families with younger children to enjoy.
