Ryedale Festival Booking Opens
by •
General public booking for the 2015 Ryedale Festival opens on Monday 18th May. The Festival runs from 17 July to 2 August.
This year, alongside the now-customary high-class classical music and performance, there will be jazz, music workshops, a series of talks, the brass ensemble Aedelfrith (at Botton), and last but not least the Red Hedgehog Tavern (recreated in the Milton Rooms)!
The Triple concert at Castle Howard and the two Double Concerts at Sledmere House are sure to be very popular, so early booking is advised.
Finally, the Rydale Festival has become renowned not least for its opera productions. This year’s staging, Franz Lehar’s comic operetta “The Merry Widow” promises to be a crowd-puller.
For full details of the 51 events in this year’s Ryedale Festival, and how to book, visit the Festival website: http://www.ryedalefestival.com

Vote early, vote often, vote Slingsby!
by •
People have been heading to the Slingsby Village website in record numbers recently.
But now is the time to head to a polling booth in the Village Hall, if you’ve not already done so. Break a turnout record, why not?
OK, it’s too late to ask you to vote early, but we do here get the chance to vote twice, once to elect our MP for Thirsk and Malton, and once to elect our Ryedale Councillor.
If you’re one of the hard-working people of Slingsby that all parties wish to attract, perhaps reading this after a hard day in the office/shop/farm etc, please make sure you have exercised your democratic right – and have properly earned your right to complain about the next government.
With the outcome so finely balanced, your vote has never been more valuable.
Governments may come and go, but the Slingsby Village Website goes on……

Slingsby Website breaks viewing record
by •
The Slingsby Village website attained a new viewing record over the bank holiday weekend with traffic peaking on the Sunday topping the previous record (set in May 2013) by over 30%. In all, the website received 15 days worth of page views within a 48hr period from the Sunday to the Bank Holiday Monday.
Most of the traffic came from online searches for the Slingsby events, aided by social media page posts and links on other websites.
