York’s History Through 100 Plaques’
York Civic Trust has been putting up plaques in York since 1946, and with the more recent change to the blue plaque format they have become more prominent.
Why do we put up plaques? Because we believe a place is a better place if the people who pass through it — residents, workers and visitors — understand how that place was formed and has changed through the years, giving a sense of belonging. York and its people have a wonderful story to tell.
In this talk we introduce you to many famous York people who have made their mark nationally in science, the arts, philanthropy and politics, and whose former homes or workplaces have a Civic Trust blue plaque to celebrate their achievements.
The Library, Malton School, Middlecave Road, Malton, YO17 7NH

Admission: Friends FOC, Visitors, are very welcome, £3.00.

Slingsby, 4th-6th May
The Scarecrow Trail is run by the charity Friends of Slingsby School to raise funds for the school. As usual it will be running over the May Day weekend.
Follow the clues with your map on your Scarecrow Trail around the village of Slingsby and find all the different character Scarecrows and vote for your favourite one. Don’t forget to stop off at our pop up cafe for refreshments and homemade cakes and savouries and view the pre loved childrens stall.
The weekend culminates on May Day, where you can watch the May pole dancers and enjoy the festival atmosphere with stalls on the village green and local brass band. More on the Mayday Celebrations HERE
Monday 6th May 2019, 11am till 3pm, Slingsby Village Green
Slingsby’s village green and its maypole will once again be the focus for our May Day celebrations.
There’ll be maypole dancing (of course), brass bands, the Minster strays, the scarecrow trail and much, much more.
We’ll bring you a bit more on the schedule as the big day approaches and more on the scarecrow trail very soon.
The Yorkshire Arboretum will host the Celebrating Our Oaks exhibition, a special category of the International Garden Photographer of the Year (IGPOTY) competition, from 2nd April to 7th May. Developed in partnership with Action Oak – a major initiative to protect the UK’s oak trees – the outdoor exhibition showcases the magnificence of our oaks and demonstrates why they hold such a special place in our hearts.
The exhibition is supported by HSBC and will showcase the competition finalists’ photographs, as well as those by a number of celebrities including Joanna Lumley and Alan Titchmarsh. Yorkshire Arboretum director Dr John Grimshaw says “We’re delighted to host ’Celebrating Our Oaks’, which will be located near some of our own finest oaks, planted in the mid-1700s. The stunning images demonstrate what we stand to lose if our oaks are not looked after properly.’
With the display located a short walk from the Visitor Centre, visitors to the arboretum will be able to enjoy the exhibition at their leisure. A ‘Celebrating Our Oaks’ photo book will also be available to purchase, reproducing the images on display with a foreword by Dame Judi Dench.
‘Celebrating Our Oaks’ will travel to sites in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales following its tenure here, having already appeared at Wakehurst and Westonbirt Arboretum.
