Get to know some of the other people attending the ceilidh in the friendly atmosphere of the bookshop. We'll enjoy a chat and a drink (wine or cordial), and walk along to the Memorial Hall as a group.
Dance together as communities have for generations. Everyone is welcome and no previous ceilidh experience is needed. There will be a bar open from 6.30pm serving alcohol and soft drinks until the music ends at 10pm.
Join Liz Vowles for a gentle and grounding outdoor yoga session to greet the Summer Solstice. The class is suitable for all levels and will take place in the beautiful surroundings of Pickering Castle.
As the Summer Solstice twilight nears, join us for a haunting evening of stories told through music, words and art by Soft Lap. Author and historian Amy Jeffs, artist Gwen Burns and musician Natalie Brice join in mesmerising harmony to sing these timeless tales of love and death kept alive through generations of telling.
Saints legends suffused medieval European culture. Their heroes wonder-working and suffering shaped landscapes, rituals and folk beliefs. Their tales spoke of women communing with flocks of birds, men raised by wolves and severed heads calling from between bristling paws. In Saints, Amy Jeffs retells legends of the medieval saints alongside their histories, drawing on in-depth research from 4th to 16th century cultural sources, illustrated throughout with beautiful paper cutout art.
