English Heritage Events At Rievaulx Abbey 2011

Just wanted to let you know about some of the English Heritage events taking place at Rievaulx Abbey this year.

• Join the costumed Victorian falconers for spectacular aerial displays of Birds of Prey in flight in the abbey ruins at Easter (Sun 24 – Mon 25 Apr).
  
• A 17th century wedding takes place amidst the civil war (Sat 30 Apr – Mon 2 May). Will it be a happy ending for the newly weds or will the Royalists and Parliamentary forces tear them apart?
  
• A labyrinth walk at the abbey in May and June (Sat 28 May – Sun 5 Jun) is followed by evening celebrations as costumed characters create a welcoming evening atmosphere(Fri 3 – Sat 4 Jun).
• Medieval Crafts and Pastimes take over the abbey every weekend in July (Sat 2 – Sun 31 Jul weekends only).
  
• During the school summer holidays look out for the herbs planted around the abbey and discover how they would have been used by the medieval monks (Sat 23 Jul – Mon 29 Aug).

Rievaulx Abbey is only about 2.8 miles from Valley View Farm Cottages so why not make Valley View Farm your base and then enjoy some of the great activities and events that Rievaulx Abbey has to offer.
