The Scarecrow weekend and Slingsby May Day celebrations will be taking place over the weekend of 29th April to 1st May. Friends of Slingsby School (FOSS) warmly welcome entries for the scarecrow trail. There is no set theme, we just ask for a fun, child-friendly entry that families will be able to guess using a clue from the trail. Entries are £2. Please submit the name of your chosen scarecrow along with a clue by Friday the 31st March. To enter or for more information please email [email protected].
The pop-up cafe will be open in the Methodist Chapel across the whole weekend 10am – 4pm, offering refreshments and a selection of children’s pre-loved clothes, toys, books and Slingsby school uniform.
This year Friends of Slingsby School will be taking on the running of the cafe in the Methodist Chapel on the Monday and we are seeking volunteers and baked items to help us on the day, if you are able to help please email [email protected] for more information.

Parish Council Response to the Key Decisions Consultation – Ryedale Plan
by •
Following on from the recent website article outlining the process for having your say on the Key Decisions Consultation – Ryedale Plan, the Parish Council have submitted their own response. This was in the form of a letter rather than the online form. A number of parish residents have asked to see the letter, so it is available here for reference.
Slingsby-Parish-Council-Key-Decisions-responseIf you cannot see the 3-page letter above, the letter may be downloaded here: https://www.slingsbyvillage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Slingsby-Parish-Council-Key-Decisions-response.pdf
We would still encourage residents to put in their own individual responses.
