The annual Duck Race (tomorrow 15th July) has had to change venue because of the weather. It will now be held in the village hall.
As well as the Malton Roman Festival, Malton Museum has several exhibitions, talks and tours going on this summer:
Malton Roman Festival
This is the main event of the summer, following up on the success of last year’s inaugural event. Taking place at Orchard Fields on Sunday 23rd July (10:30 to 15:30), there will be an action-packed day of live-action demonstrations and living history displays that we hope will appeal to adults and children alike. This is a perfect time to point out that there is an early-bird discount on tickets for adults and family groups purchased prior to 1st July. See the museum’s website for more details and to book tickets.
Summer Lectures
The third lecture of the 2023 Summer Lecture Series takes place on Thursday 6th July (7pm). ‘Through Fire and Flames: The History of Malton’s Fire Brigade’, by on-call firefighter Ian Orledge. Please see the attached poster for all the details. Currently the museum also has a special exhibition of items from Ian’s collection on display, giving fascinating insights into an important part of our local history.
Town Tours
During the Summer months most of the town tours take place during the evening, when we can enjoy a very different view of the town while it is quieter. There are 2 tours arranged for July:
“River, Road and Railway” follows the story of Malton’s trade and transport systems through several centuries. This takes place on Wednesday 12th July at 7pm. Cost is £8 per person.
“Horses in Malton” is a new tour exploring Malton’s strong connection with horses from before Roman Times right through to the town’s prime importance as a centre of horse racing today. This takes place on Tuesday 25th July at 7pm. Cost is £8 per person.
Bookings for all events can be made on the museum website. https://www.maltonmuseum.co.uk/events/
There’s plenty happening at Slingsby Chapel over the next couple of months, including regular Sunday worship services and also various dates for the diary around Ryedale. More information and dates can be found below:
As promised in an earlier post, below is the Parish Council’s response to the second planning application for land south of Aspen Way, which was published in May. More information about this can be found in our earlier post about the application here.
The Parish Council’s response:
Having read through the information provided for the Erection of 13 no. dwellings (APPLICATION NO:
23/00348/MFUL), taken consultation from residents within the Parish and referenced the plans against
the recent parish survey, the Parish Council has significant concerns.
The Parish Council is extremely concerned that a site that was originally approved in outline as one site
to be developed, has now turned into two applications/schemes, which do not complement each other in
any way, shape or form. A site which was to be ‘the gateway to Slingsby’ is fast turning into Cinderella’s
carriage at midnight!
Can the planning authority confirm that this split site approach is able to be taken forward?
