What’s On

To mark the Museum’s 60th birthday this year, we’ve put together a  special exhibition, on display in the Art Gallery.

Explore stories from the Museum’s past, discover the volunteers who worked tirelessly to found this special place, and find out how you can be a part of its future.

From moving the Museum’s very first building through to our more recent activities creating and caring for a cornfield, discover the work that has gone into this special site in the heart of the North York Moors National Park

This exhibition is free to visit. (It is not in the paid part of the Museum.)

There will be a final opportunity to see this exhibition on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December from 10am – 4pm, in conjunction with the Christmas Shopping weekend.

Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, 10am – 4pm

Join us for a spot of festive shopping in our lovely gift shop. They’ll be a free glass of mulled wine and wassail punch (non alcoholic and made from the Museum’s own apples) for every shopper – and 10% off if you spend more than £45.00*

So why not pop along and browse our gifts and treats, including:

• Rarebird Distillery and Daisy Distillery gins
• Books covering history, countryside and local interest
• Lottie Shaw’s sweet treats including Yorkshire Parkin Cake and biscuit selection tins
• Kids’ toys and books – lots of perfectly sized and priced stocking fillers
• Angie Lewin advent calendars (while stocks last)
• Yorkshire Lavender slumber gel, muscle rub, room spray and hand wash
• Homeware gifts from vases to locally made artisan ceramics
• Gardening gifts from watering cans, pot presses, twines and snippers

Please note that the Museum is not open during the weekend.
