Enjoy the Bank Holiday - but don't put the farmers at risk! That's the message from Bradford Council as thousands prepare to take advantage of the warmer weather.

Shipley Glen, Ilkley Moor, Baildon Moor and Bronte Moor are still out of bounds to walkers and picnickers. But the popular Shipley Glen tramway WILL be open.

And many activities are planned in Bradford and surrounding towns.

"We want people to enjoy the bank holiday but we don't want them using restricted areas because of the real risk of spreading the disease," said Councillor Anne Hawkesworth, the Council's executive member for the environment.

"The many new cases confirmed in the Yorkshire Dales, including Gargrave, are a clear reminder that we still need to be very careful. Although MAFF's updated guidance says restrictions on access can be further relaxed, the Dales outbreak means that we will not be reopening any further sites. The best way to help our farmers is to stay away from land and footpaths which are closed."

A day of unbroken sunshine is forecast tomorrow as Ilkley lido opens for the summer. And although showers are predicted on Sunday and Monday they are unlikely to dampen bank holiday spirits.

Music lovers can visit the Riverside Gardens in Ilkley on Monday and listen to Otley Brass Band perform between 2pm and 4.30pm. East Riddlesden Hall, in Bradford Road, Keighley, also has a musical theme for Bank Holiday Monday - Peter Bull will play 17th Century music on the hurdy gurdy, lute and dulcimer, the Arbeau Dancers will perform 17th Century dance in period costume, and Camilla Campling will sing Elizabethan songs. The event begins at 1pm.

Stretches of towpath on the Leeds-Liverpool canal are now reopening to the public, including those from Shipley to Skipton. There are also trips on the canal waterbuses between Shipley and Bingley.

Wensleydale, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, remains open to visitors. All attractions, including museums, the ropemakers, creamery, antique shops and craft workshops are open, as well as shops, pubs and restaurants.

Kate Empsall, chairman of Upper Wensleydale Business and Tourism Association, said: "Sadly the footpaths are closed but there is plenty to do and see in the villages, there are walks along the quieter country lanes, and there is lots to do in the market town of Hawes. The wild flowers are also beautiful."

There are a number of exhibitions at Cartwright Hall, Lister Park, Bradford. Landscape paintings of the Yorkshire Dales by Marie Walker are on display, and there's an exhibition looking at techniques such as embroidery and block printing used on textiles.

In Keighley the Cliffe Castle Museum is open as usual over the Bank Holiday, as is the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. Haworth's attractions will also be open.

The Red Wyvern Society is re-enacting life in the 15th Century over the Bank Holiday weekend at Skipton Castle, pictured. Visitors will be able to walk around the camp, use weaponry and talk to actors.

Shops and cafes remain open in Skipton town centre and there is an art exhibition at the Craven Museum, entitled A Sense of Place.
