The Ryedale Festival is to go virtual for the first time. Live streaming runs from 19 to 26 July. The chart-topping pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason will start the eight day festival on Sunday 19th July, playing Gershwin, Barber and Beethoven, live-streamed from Helmsley church at 3pm. She is no less accomplished than her cellist brother Sheku Kanneh-Mason, winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, who made the headlines when he played at the Royal Wedding of Harry and Megan in 2018.
Other well-known names appearing during this free series of events include Rachel Podger and Tamsin-Waley Cohen.
The Ryedale Festival, backed by its loyal and enthusiastic local audience, hopes to reach an even wider cross-section of the community and also spread its reach well beyond Yorkshire.
We regret to announce that the planned Wednesday Tennis Evenings on the Slingsby Courts have had to be cancelled until further notice. The Government/Lawn Tennis Association have issued a new guideline saying that larger group activity that involves people interacting with others outside their group should not yet be held. If and when Guidance allows larger groups to meet, we will report it here.
This new ruling does not affect individuals playing singles or doubles providing appropriate social distancing and personal precautions are made as listed on the notice board at the entrance to the courts.
With Geoff Bishop, who has been monitoring the changing guidelines, we thank you for your understanding.
Friends of Slingsby School are holding a charity bag collection on Monday 13th July at Slingsby Sports Field. Items of clothing and bedding (no duvets) can be placed in bin bags and dropped off just inside the gateway on the grass between 8am & 9am. We’d like to thank the Sports Club for allowing us to do this as it will help with social distancing. So if anyone has been having a sort out during lockdown here’s a chance to get rid!!
Please have a look at the list of items Bag2school will (and will not) accept, to ensure your bag is not refused: https://bag2school.com/what-we-collect
