Cosy Cottage Soothing Sound Bath
Step into stillness before the Christmas rush, and surrender to the deeply calming experience of this Healing Sound Bath, lovingly held by experienced sound practitioner Julia Thompson.
Designed to gently quiet the mind and nourish the spirit, this 90-minute session offers a rare opportunity to fully switch off from the outside world and connect with the healing power of sound.
This gathering will focus on deep relaxation to promote healing and renewal, encouraging better sleep, and supporting the release of tension within both body and mind.
Julia will guide you through a meditative sound journey using a combination of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and grounding instruments, all chosen to support the body’s natural ability to restore and rebalance. These vibrations work at a cellular level, helping to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and promote emotional clarity.
Throughout the session, you’ll be invited to simply lie back and relax — letting the sounds wash over you in waves of calm. There will be gentle guidance to settle you into the space, followed by a period of quiet integration at the end, allowing you to return to the present moment feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to yourself.
Whether you’re new to sound healing or returning to deepen your practice, this immersive session offers a nurturing pause for body, mind, and soul.
You may wish to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and any cushions or eye masks that will help you feel comfortable and supported, however a mat, pillow, and blanket will be provided. We encourage you to bring cosy layers as some may feel cooler lying in stillness for this length of time. You may also wish to bring a journal for any reflections that arise after the session, however this is optional.

Malton Museum Lecture: The African Emperor – Septimius Severus with Simon Elliott
MALTON MUSEUM: LECTURE PROGRAMME SUMMER 2025
Thursday 9th October - Dr Simon Elliott
Join noted historian and author Dr Simon Elliott to hear about his latest book, ‘The African Emperor’. Afterwards there will be the chance to ask questions and purchase a book signed by the author.
Severus was born into the richest family in a North African spring in Leptis and came to power at the height of Rome’s might. Comprised of 50,000 men, the emperor not only led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain as part of a Roman military establishment, but he also left a might legacy in the built environment. There is undeniable Severan influence over the Forum Romanum, his hometown of Leptis Magna, and even the land walls in London that define the City’s Square Mile were delineated under his rule.
Severus used his North African upbringing as the template for, what Simon refers to as, the Severan reset. This was the first major post-Augustan reformation of the Roman world and established the emperor’s dynasty, which lasted almost half a century. Such was the scale of this reorganisation, which some may name a hostile takeover, that it was not repeated until the succession of Diocletian more than ninety years after Severus became emperor.
The African Emperor explores the life and eventual death of one of the greatest warrior emperors in history. Read of his several near-death experiences and how he monumentalised his rule across the empire and his visits to every region. Born in the blistering heat, Severus died in the freezing cold of a Northern British winter in York with the deathbed advice: ‘Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.
About the Speaker
Simon Elliott is an author, historian, archaeologist and broadcaster based in Kent. He has worked with outlets as varied as History Hit and Channel 5 and has published several books on Roman history.
Event Info
All the lectures are in Malton Assembly Rooms and entrance is though the Museum on Yorkersgate. They all start at 7p.m. and they cost £10 per head. Booking online is through the events section of the Malton Museum website or you can pay at the door.

Everwitch Theatre ‘Bomb Happy’ VE Day 80 double bill
In the lead up to Remembrance Sunday, which this year focuses on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this double bill of film, song and live performance using real life accounts has been specially created by award-winning writer and performer Helena Fox and actor-vocalist Natasha Jones, of Everwitch Theatre. It commemorates the 80th anniversaries of D-Day (2024) and VE Day (2025).
From D-Day to VE Day, this powerful one hour double bill of live performance (30 minutes) and short film (30 minutes) brings to life the verbatim accounts of two working class Yorkshire Normandy veterans, highlighting the lifelong impact of post-traumatic stress disorder and sleep trauma, not only on veterans of war but on their families.
“We’re in the water, wading to the shore, and we’re literally brushing against what looks like logs, and they’re just bodies rolling in the surf, people that we know, eighteen, nineteen, twenty-year-olds, they’re pople that we know!”
Smudger from Bomb Happy: Smudger’s Story
“I had to try to very carefully wake him up, but very carefully you know. You see, he’d be shaking. And for a moment when he woke, he’d still be back there – in the war.”
Gloria, Smudger’s wife from Bomb Happy: Smudger’s Story
“Bomb Happy is a slang phrase we use for being under fire for many days at a time. It does describe the condition you become.”
Smudger from Bomb Happy, Smudger’s Story

Cosy Cottage Healing Sound Bath
Step into stillness before the Christmas rush, and surrender to the deeply calming experience of this Healing Sound Bath, lovingly held by experienced sound practitioner Julia Thompson.
Designed to gently quiet the mind and nourish the spirit, this 90-minute session offers a rare opportunity to fully switch off from the outside world and connect with the healing power of sound.
This gathering will focus on deep relaxation to promote healing and renewal, encouraging better sleep, and supporting the release of tension within both body and mind.
Julia will guide you through a meditative sound journey using a combination of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and grounding instruments, all chosen to support the body’s natural ability to restore and rebalance. These vibrations work at a cellular level, helping to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and promote emotional clarity.
Throughout the session, you’ll be invited to simply lie back and relax — letting the sounds wash over you in waves of calm. There will be gentle guidance to settle you into the space, followed by a period of quiet integration at the end, allowing you to return to the present moment feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to yourself.
Whether you’re new to sound healing or returning to deepen your practice, this immersive session offers a nurturing pause for body, mind, and soul.
You may wish to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and any cushions or eye masks that will help you feel comfortable and supported, however a mat, pillow, and blanket will be provided. We encourage you to bring cosy layers as some may feel cooler lying in stillness for this length of time. You may also wish to bring a journal for any reflections that arise after the session, however this is optional.

Gary Stewart is a singer/songwriter from Perthshire who cut his teeth performing on the Leeds Music Scene for 15 years before moving to York, where he currently lives. Stewart writes songs in the Folk/Pop vein and is influenced by the folk artists of the 1960s and 1970s (Paul Simon/James Taylor/The Eagles/Joni Mitchell/Carole King).
The Scottish songsmith has released four albums to date, the latest, ‘Lost, Now Found’, self-recorded, produced and released in June 2021. The left-hander is also no stranger to the festival circuit, having played Kendal Calling, Green Man and Larmer Tree Festivals to name but a few.
When not performing his own music, the multi-instrumentalist busies himself playing drums for Hope & Social and bass for Leeds-based Fleetwood Mac tribute, Weetwood Mac (ex-Ellen & The Escapades). He also fronts his own reworking of Paul Simon’s classic album, ‘Graceland’, with a seven-piece band.
Simon Snaize is an accomplished singer-songwriter guitarist and producer, performing solo and in duos as well as fronting the popular York based Y Street Band. His solo set is a mix of classics, blues, and Americana, delivered with strong vocals and explosive guitar playing.
Ellen Smith is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer from Leeds. In 2010 Ellen won Q Magazine’s Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition with her band Ellen & the Escapades and has since gone on to make main stage appearances at the festival a further two times.
Having spent the following years writing and touring, in 2018 Ellen signed a publishing deal with 13 Artists/Warner Chappell UK, after releasing music with dark-electro pop band Shadowlark, produced by Dan Austin (Massive Attack, Doves, Biffy Clyro),
2020 saw Ellen release her first solo material, having been commissioned to write the eponymous soundtrack to ‘Take Us Home’, an Amazon Prime docu-series following Leeds United during their momentous 2019/2020 promotion winning season.
Phil Hooley is a singer-songwriter and founder of the alt country band The Woolgatherers, Scarborough-based Phil is also busy as a solo performer. Citing Guy Clarke, John Prine and Nick Lowe among his many influences, Phil’s songs are lyrically driven and always thought-provoking.
Describing himself as ’late to the party’ having worked the pubs and clubs for many years, and with an
easy stage presence, Phil has received many plaudits for his live shows, and is a favourite on the festival circuit. He has released two albums to date, ‘Songs From the Back Room’ and ’Provenance’ in April this year, both receiving critical acclaim from the reviewers.

Conflict Between Church & State – An Audience with King Henry VIII
Date: Thursday 4th September 2025
Time: 7.30pm
Location: The Milton Rooms
Tickets: £15pp
The year is 1542 and the King is in a contemplative mood. Events of recent years weigh heavily upon him – the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the break with Rome and the dissolution of the Monasteries.
This is the sister show to ‘Divorced, Beheaded, Died’. Of this show, it has been said:
“…. a bravura performance as an aged (and lame) Henry VIII. This is Henry, at once dangerous and yet tinged with regret. There is humour and pathos here, as well as convincing menace…. Not to be missed!” The Very Revd Chris Dalliston, Dean of Peterborough Cathedral

Jack Abbot is a performer who has specialised in recreating historical characters for more than 25 years, has appeared at numerous heritage, educational and corporate venues across the UK and the USA; including many managed by the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Scotland and other such bodies.
Of the 30 or more characters he performs, Henry VIII is the most popular. First created as a one-man show, more than 12 years ago, the show has gone through a number of revisions and now is offered as a theatrical experience in which the audience comes face-to-face with the King.
The King breaks the ‘fourth wall’ in that he directly refers to the audience who, at the close, are invited to ask questions – a lively Q & A session often ensues with there being some surprising answers!
Presented by Select Society – a company which has provided historical performance services to the UK heritage industry – English Heritage, National Trust, Historic Scotland and numerous museums, castles, and associated venues in the UK and the USA and to educational, corporate, social, and theatrical venues; as well as film, TV, theatre, and radio productions.
