Easter Weekend With English Heritage

Valley View Farm is very close to plenty of English Heritage sites and here is a small taster of what is happening over the Easter Weekend.

The Easter weekend sees the beginning of the brand new events season at English Heritage:

• with trails for the adventurous children,
  
• re-enactments for the history buffs, and
  
• special tours for those who want to find out the gory details of how people used to live – there is something to keep everyone entertained.

Kicking off the events season are Whitby Abbey, Richmond Castle and Clifford’s Tower in York, just a few of the sites in Yorkshire that will be joining in with the East Family Fun Trails over Easter weekend at the beginning of April. Children will need to crack the clues to complete the trail and collect their yummy Easter prize. English Heritage has stocked up on thousands of chocolate Easter Bunnies to give away as prizes over Easter so make sure you don’t miss out!

The Golden Age of Rievaulx!

Come along and help us celebrate the Golden Age of Rievaulx Abbey this year. 2010 is the 900th birthday of St Aelred, an abbot at Rievaulx Abbey which made the site an international centre for Christianity, way back in the 1100’s.

The celebrations are starting at Easter with tasty treats in the tea room, carrying on right through the year with Medieval Falconry, a pilgrimage in May, a labyrinth walk at the abbey in May and June, Medieval Arts and Crafts in July, plus much more.

South Yorkshire: Triumph at Sea Exhibition Launch

Brodsworth Hall and Gardens launch a brand new, family-friendly, interactive exhibition this April, inspired by the work of Backhuysen one of the greatest Dutch artists of the 17th century.

One of the most fascinating paintings in Brodsworth’s collection is brought to life with readings from Samuel Pepys diary.

Step into the painting and discover one of the most shameful periods in English Maritime history - which you will never learn about at school.

As you can see there is lots to see and do for all the family this Easter, so why not grab a few days away here at Valley View Farm Cottages in the North York Moors.
