Hundreds of completed jigsaw puzzles are emerging from storage at Christchurch in Ilkley ready to be sold at the 11th annual Jigsaw Festival being held between the 6th and 8th of November.
The puzzles have been worked on by dissect ologists (jigsaw enthusiasts) far and wide.
Organisers say because the puzzles are displayed in completed form, customers can see all the pieces are there; so none of the frustration of realising, after hours of work, there are pieces missing. See a puzzle you fancy, and a volunteer will unite it with its box for you.
There are also brand new puzzles donated by some of the best known manufacturers, whose support is greatly appreciated.
Over the years, proceeds from the festival have been donated to a variety of charities – both local and national. This year the beneficiaries are Hope for Tomorrow, who builds and provides mobile cancer care units, and Caring for Life, a local project supporting vulnerable adults.

The Jigsaw Festival will be held from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th November from 10am to 4pm at Christchurch on The Grove in Ilkley.
