The coming 2023 season will be an extra exciting one for Malton Museum, as we are kicking off the year with a very special guest…

This beautiful shield was found beside a Celtic warrior who had been buried with his chariot and two horses. It is one of the most significant archaeological finds in recent history and has been described by Melanie Giles of Manchester University as ‘the most important British Celtic art object of the millennium.’ see
Malton Museum is indeed fortunate to be entrusted with this artefact. There will be more information on the museum’s website in the run up to the opening of the exhibition, see https://www.maltonmuseum.co.uk/
There will be an opportunity to preview the Shield on Friday 31st March at 6:30 p.m. at Malton Museum, followed by a lecture on the discovery of the Chariot Burial by Paula Ware of Malton Archaeological Practice Ltd at St Michael’s Church, Market Square, Malton at 7:30 p.m.

Monday 27 March 2023, 7pm, Slingsby Village Hall
The next regular meeting of the Parish Council will be considering the Balk planning application, funding for the Slingsby Sport for All project, and the Parish Charter consultation, among other things. As always, residents are welcome to attend.
The full AGENDA is HERE
Tuesday 21 March, 7.30pm, Slingsby Methodist Schoolroom, Local History Club meeting.
This month, Slingsby’s Local History Group will be taking inspiration from the current plans to develop the Sports and Social Club in the village to look at some of the photographic archive we hold which captures past sporting activities, village sports days and longer traditions in the village, based on the extensive photographic collection and a couple of past projects where sporting and entertainment have been the focus of Local History projects.
We’ll explore whether this could form the focus of a future project or exhibition, and look forward to a few shared memories, too.
All are welcome to attend. Your ideas and recollections will serve to drive this project to its goal.
