A Spanish-themed event is being held to raise funds for climate activists' legal fees.

The Fold, in Bransford, will host the 'Fiesta Benéfica' fundraiser on Friday, November 8.

All proceeds will go towards the legal costs of one of its employees, Elena González, and 15 other climate activists currently on trial in Spain.

The event will feature Spanish tapas, traditional dances, and live music from band Rebel and the Banned.

Ms González said: "I have devoted several years of my life to climate activism and now find myself facing the comeback.

"The crackdown on green activists in the United Kingdom and Europe has spread to Spain.

"Dozens of us now face serious criminal charges for our peaceful fight for planet Earth."

The event will start at 6pm and tickets are available online, or on the door.
