Here are a few pointers for your week ahead. I hope you find something to enjoy. I'm not sure how far we will get as I have a four-year-old's party to organise for Saturday so will be frantically cake baking and planning party games.
Wind in the Willows which had its debut at Helmsley Arts Centre last weekend is on at Terrington Village Hall at 6.30pm on Thursday, July 8th.
Ryedale Folk Museum is holding a Tractor and Engine Day on Sunday, July 11th and to celebrate Bastille Day next Wednesday, July 14th, there's a picnic from 6-9pm.
Join an Owl Safari at The Robert Fuller Gallery on Saturday, July 10th from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. There is also An Introduction to Dragonflies and Damselflies on Sunday, July 11th in the morning and afternoon. Booking details on 01759 368355. Tickets £7.50.
There's a Vintage Vehicle Weekend on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway on Saturday and Sunday, July 10th & 11th where classic and vintage vehicles will be on display along the railway.
If you're up this way and looking for refreshments I can highly recommend the lovely Grosmont Gallery and Jazz Cafe. The building has seen life as an undertakers, a joiner's workshop and a petrol station but now has its walls adorned with art, comfy sofas and plenty of space for a cappuccino, cake and a look at the artwork. We've been here with kids. It's big enough to absorb them and their noise especially with the bribe of a cake! Their new exhibition, Blue Bay Watch, featuring local artists including Ian Mitchell, runs from this weekend to August 8th. The cafe is open from 11am-5pm, April to October.
The original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car is at Nunnington Hall this weekend, July 10th & 11th.
The Hidden Gardens of Hovingham. On Sunday, July 11th several homes in Hovingham are throwing open their garden gates. The event runs from 1pm-5pm. £4 on the day.
The English Lavender Festival takes place at the award-winning Yorkshire Lavender in Terrington on Saturday and Sunday, July10th & 11th. There will be a chance to learn about lavender for cooking as well as for health and beauty and its therapeutic benefits at one of the most beautifully situated gardens in the area.
The Mikado, which opens at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Thursday and runs until September 4th, has already had some good previews in the national press. Director Chris Monks has this time set the Gilbert and Sullivan masterpiece on the cricket pitch.
Ryedale School's Wind Band and Jazz Band are at Helmsley Arts Centre with a repertoire of classic and contemporary music on Sunday, July 11th. The band is made up of pupils in years 7-11. By the way, the arts centre has its own blog which is worth a look at to find out what is going on behind the scenes.
Artsmix is holding an arts and crafts fayre in Malton on Sunday, July 11th from 11am-4pm. Artsmix aims to showcase emerging artists and there will be art, jewellery, textiles, ceramics and more on sale.
Malton Cinema is showing Letters to Juliet, Shrek Forever After, Twilight Saga Eclipse (both of these are best to book ahead for), and in the Lounge there's The Reader and A Single Man, which I reviewed last week.
Helmsley Arts Centre is showing Remember Me on Wednesday, July 7th at 7.30pm.
If there are other events you know of or would like me to include, I will happily do so. Just leave me a comment.
