The Moors National Park Centre

The Moors National Park Centre and Inspired by… gallery are currently closed

Please note that following recent government advice on the coronavirus outbreak The Moors National Park Centre and Inspired by… gallery are closed from 18 March until 31 May.

Here at the North York Moors National Park Authority, we are proud to offer services and attractions such as The Moors National Park Centre, Sutton Bank National Park Centre and the wonderful Inspired by… gallery. However, for the safety of the public and in line with recent government advice we have decided to close the centre. Our car parks and toilets are also closed as is the independently operated Park Life Café.

This means that all our events, exhibitions, guided walks and other activities that were planned to take place here during this period have now been cancelled/postponed.

As many have booked onto such activities, we are committed to providing a reliable service to offer our support.

Therefore, for anyone who has made a booking for any of our events between 18 March and 31 May via Eventbrite you will receive an automatic refund. If you have booked via any other means i.e. made a booking at the Centre, please call 01439 772 737 or email Sally Ann Smith at: s.smith@northyorkmoors.org.uk

We will be updating this page as appropriate alongside developments in key government health guidelines related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
