Events

Under Yorkshire Skies

21st Jun 2013 - 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Gail Hurst, Jennifer Tetlow and Sue Morton capture the vitality, moods and character of their local landscape in an expressive mix of sculpture, painting and drawing. Meet the Artists: 22 June, 12 noon - 3pm

A Sense of Place

21st Jun 2013 - 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Contemporary textile artists Marion Atkinson and Christine Heath are inspired by the beauty and drama of the Moors. This exhibition brings together Marion’s highly textured, almost sculptural wall hangings, and Christine’s colourful, stitched-surface collages. Meet the Artists: 22 June, 12 noon - 3pm

Intermediate Mountain Bike Ride

30th Jun 2013 - 11:00 am to 1:30 pm
Join Senior Ranger Simon Bassindale on a 10 mile mountain-bike ride from Sutton Bank National Park Centre. The ride is aimed at people who have some off-road experience (it's equivalent to a blue-graded route at a trail centre) and who want to build up to more adventurous rides in the National Park - like our Advanced Level ride on 7 September. You'll need a mountain bike, helmet, spares and repair kit, and food and drink.

Howdale and Stoupe Brow Moor

3rd Jul 2013 - 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
Guest Education Officer Tanya Eyre of the Hawk and Owl Trust takes you on a 3.7 mile wildlife walk in the butterfly season. During the outing, you'll enjoy views of two very different landscapes - heather moorland and rugged coastline.

Walking with Romans?

3rd Jul 2013 - 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
We take a walk along Wade's Causeway, long considered to be one of the finest examples of a surviving stretch of Roman road in the country. This 2 mile walk challenges the accepted view and wonders who else can lay claim to this splendid thoroughfare?

Bilsdale at its Best

7th Jul 2013 - 10:30 am to 1:30 pm
Enjoy a stroll through the lovely countryside of Bilsdale. Following sections of ancient 'green lanes', you get the chance to appreciate the dale's size and charm on this 5 mile walk. There are some stiles.

Sandsend Stroll

7th Jul 2013 - 11:00 am to 12:00 noon
Enjoy a pleasant, wheelchair-friendly, 1.5 mile stroll in this picturesque seaside resort, and experience one of the finest stretches of beach along the Yorkshire coast. There will also be a short walk in the afternoon at neighbouring Lythe.

Looking Round Lythe

7th Jul 2013 - 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Join our 1.5 mile, wheelchair-friendly walk around Lythe, which occupies a superb position overlooking the North Sea above Sandsend. A display of Viking stone carvings sheds light on the local church and its past, and there may be an opportunity to make a brief detour into the Mulgrave Estate of the Marquis of Normanby.

In Search of Summer

12th Jul 2013 - 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Susan Neale, Caroline Burton, Shirley Vauvelle, Sue Pilkington-Hanna and Emma Gale join forces to bring us a glimpse of summer in a mixed-media exhibition of paintings, ceramics, jewellery and fine lacework.
