Come and learn about the interesting, historic and curious features of the church.

There will be lots of craft activities for children, including make your own crown, ‘stained glass snap’ and a chance to hear more about  Slingsby’s medieval knights and dragons. All these events will take place from 10 a.m. onwards when there will be coffee and light refreshments available

Interesting fact – Revd Bridget Brooke, now (technically!) retired priest at St John’s Ranmoor, is a descendant of Revd Arthur S Brooke, Rector of Slingsby for 46 years until 1928, and author of the leading book on Slingsby. It was Revd Bridget’s connection with Slingsby that helped to start the visits by St John’s Choir.
