Midsummer Festival: Tree Walk

Pickering Midsummer Festival 2026
Beck Isle Museum Bridge Street, Pickering

Explore the folklore of trees on the Pickering Beck and Castle route! During the approximately two mile circular walk, arboreal devotee and author of The Folklore of Trees will talk about the legends, secrets and myths of the trees on our doorstep. Optional add-on: we'll end the walk with a sandwich buffet in The Forest and Vale Hotel garden, home to a 300+ year old sweet chestnut tree.

Midsummer Festival: Beth Burrows

Pickering Midsummer Festival 2026
Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

Beth Burrows is deeply rooted in traditional folk and has a long career in a cappella performances of songs from the living tradition at workshops, folk clubs and festivals across Yorkshire and beyond. Beth will be accompanied by friend and fellow musician Alison Lawson for this blend of workshop and performance, where we'll join together in song and learn how to keep the tradition alive.
