Depending on the weather we are either heading up to Rosedale Abbey on a camping weekend or going to see a couple of shows at the Puppet Festival in Beverley which is a lovely enough place to visit anyway. I've written a preview below. If we do go camping, I'm planning to do a round up of local campsites as a couple of people have been interested in knowing where to go.
Otherwise, here are a few events that are going on this weekend:
Ryedale Festival is on from July 16th - August 1st. The festival offers a varied programme including soloists, orchestras, chamber music across several venues in Ryedale.
The Malton Show takes place in Scampston Park on Sunday, July 18th. Agricultural attractions, farm exhibits and class entries.
The Ryedale Folk Museum is having a French Day on Sunday, July 18th. Cooking, dancing and lessons in the school room.
Love in Shakespeare at Mount Grace Priory. Enjoy an evening of Shakespeare's most popular plays.
The 1812 Theatre Company are performing 84 Charing Cross Road from Weds, July 21st to Sat, July 24th at 7.30pm at Helmsley Arts Centre.
Twenty 20 has just opened at The Stephen Joseph Theatre from July 13th - September 11th. A one-act play taking the audience on a whistlestop tour of today's short attention span world. The Mikado continues until Sept 4th. Midsummer Night's Dream continues until July 31st.
Malton Cinema is continuing with The Twilight Saga Eclipse for Twihards who have yet to catch it. Also in the lounge is The Reader, a wonderful film which finally gave Kate Winslet her Oscar last year. The cinema has imminent plans to go 3D. I'll keep you posted once I get a firm date.

Beverley Puppet Festival
July 16th -18th
I know Beverley is not Ryedale, Moors and Coast but this is the sort of event that I would travel to see. We went to Beverley Puppet Festival a couple of years ago and were really impressed with the shows. The shows are mainly geared up for the infant year age group of primary school. We saw a couple of shadow puppet shows, Alice and The White Rabbit by Indigo Moon Theatre Company and Little Red Riding Hood. These cost us just a few pounds for tickets but the traditional Punch and Judy show outside was free. This year's shows include Pinocchio, Chicken Licken, The Ugly Duckling, The Story of the Willow Pattern Plate. There's also a performance by Edinburgh Fringe sell outs, The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre for 12 + to adults.
If there is anything else you would like to include please leave me a comment.
