English Heritage Events In Yorkshire Over August Bank Holiday & September 2009

Check out the English Heritage events not to be missed in Yorkshire this August bank holiday and throughout September 2009.

Pure Inspiration at Whitby Abbey - GP Taylor, has joined forces with English Heritage to encourage budding writers of all ages to take inspiration from one of the finest historic sites in the North, and put pen to paper in two writing competitions. This summer, authors around the country are invited to submit stories that draw their inspiration from the cliff-top ruins of Yorkshire’s Whitby Abbey. This competition will give several authors the chance to have see their works in print, hopefully uncovering some bright new talent for the future. The Pure Inspiration competition runs throughout Summer 2009, with entries welcomed from writers of all ages and abilities – although they must share a common theme, using Whitby Abbey as an integral part of the story.
