The sleigh will leave Hovingham around 5pm and the trip finishes in Appleton le Street around 9 p.m. You can usually hear him coming.

Saturday 10th December 2016 from 10 to 11.30 at Orchard Cottage, Railway Street, Slingsby. The coffee morning (see previous post) includes our Local History Group introducing its next project on  ‘Feeding Slingsby’.

This will look back at what Slingsby people ate and what was cooked for social events and at home, in both the recent and more distant past. LHG asks for your memories about festive events, recipes, menus, or any other memorabilia. If you have anything, please bring it along and have an informal chat about it over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.
