Date: Friday 9th May 2025
Time: 8pm
Location: The Milton Rooms, Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX
Tickets: £15 per person
Event Overview
Ben Reel released his 11th studio album ‘Come a Long Way’ in June 2023. The album charted at No.9 in the Euro Americana chart and No.28 in the IBBA world blues chart.
Since his debut album `This Is the Movie’ back in 1999, Ben has reinvented himself from album to album, influenced by different styles of music over the years. As one critic said: “He’s not afraid to throw in some in folk, soul, reggae vibes, which in turn call to mind John Hiatt at his best.”. Another describes him as “somewhere in the middle ground between rock and jazz or a sound that is sometimes reminiscent of Dylan and The Band”.
He has also been described as the Irish Springsteen and comparisons have been made about his voice sounding like the ghost of Roy Orbison, but Ben Reel is very much his own man.
In a solo career which spans 25 years, Ben has received worldwide critical acclaim with numerous high profile TV/radio appearances like BBC, RTE and Dutch NPO Radio, supporting the likes of Jools Holland and The Cranberries. He has collaborated musically with such names as Hal Ketchum and The Blockheads. He has co-written and performed live with some of Nashville’s finest such as David Olney and Nanci Griffiths.
‘The Nashville Calling` was the title of his ninth studio album which was released in March 2020, produced by Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack and featuring Garry W Tallent on bass from the legendary E Street Band. Recorded in Nashville, this was a dream come through for Ben. The album went to No.1 in the Euro Americana charts, voted by respected DJs and critics all over Europe.

Cosy Cottage: Soothing Sound Bath: Cleanse, Calm & Realign
Soothing Sound Bath: Cleanse, Calm & Realign
Dates: 31st May 2025
Location: 17 Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX
Step into stillness, in the late spring early evening, and surrender to the deeply calming experience of this Soothing 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.
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.
Enjoy a welcome beverage and 15% off all Cosy Cottage products on the day.

Meet at Roman Fort, Orchard Fields, just off Old Malton Road
Archaeological work on Malton’s Roman Fort suggests that it was one of very few in the country that was probably operated in varying strength throughout most of the Roman occupation. Roman soldiers were efficient builders and military forts were regularly altered, abandoned and re-instated as necessity arose. Partly built over later by the Normans and cut through even later by a railway track, what is left of the fort site is an unevenly shaped grass field with banks and ditches, but with many hidden stories to discover. Our tour explains the layout of the fort, and the people who lived there for a time. Come and learn about the life of a typical Roman soldier.
The tour takes about 90 minutes. We use audio headsets to ensure everyone can hear the guides when the town is busy. The maximum size of a group is 20.
Cost £10.00 per person, includes an information pack.
Please note that the fort is an uneven area of roughly mown grass which can also be damp in wet weather, so please wear suitable footwear.

Kemps presents: Charlie Connelly’s ‘Attention All Shipping’
Kemps presents Charlie Connelly’s ‘Attention All Shipping’
Date: Wednesday 16th July 2025
Time: 7.30pm
Location: The Milton Rooms, Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX
Tickets: £18 per person
Event Overview
As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he regards as the greatest invention of the modern age.
How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?
Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares rip-roaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas – the times he was accused by the media of trying to annex Rockall from the British government and sang sea shanties with Tom Hardy in a Manx hotel bar while Scary Spice pulled the pints – and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.
Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies worldwide, this pacy, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South East Iceland to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.
“Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in a studio with…He has a natural wit that doesn’t get crushed by an over-zealous ego with a lovely personality attached to it.” Fi Glover, broadcaster
“Charlie is always warm, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter – and I’ve never done that to anyone in my life before.” Bernard Sumner, New Order
“I can thoroughly recommend an evening spent in the company of the very funny and very lovely Charlie Connelly, whose knowledge of what I call ‘the ships’ is excellent. Sou’westers optional.” Corrie Corfield, BBC Radio 4

Malton Museum Roman Festival 2025
Malton Roman Festival 2025
THE EMPIRE IS BACK - MALTON MUSEUM ROMAN FESTIVAL
Its July the 20th 2025 and early in the morning nothing stirs except the birds in the trees. The sun is up and it’s a lovely day and then from far away the sounds of marching men and horses as once again the Malton Museum Roman Festival arrives to reclaim the fort and vicus of Delgovicia (now known as Orchard Field) for the Emporer.
All citizens of Malton, Norton and the surrounding area are invited to attend from 10 o’clock in the morning to 4 o’clock in the afternoon to enjoy demonstrations of marching, fighting and horsemanship as well as displays of archaeology and Roman life. And there’s plenty for the younger citizens to do as well but be aware! – they might be recruited into the Kids Roman Army and put through their marching skills by one of the legionaries. We are in the process of lining up authors and other speakers.
Food and drink will be plentiful on site with savoury and sweet items from local traders.
We are now taking applications from groups, Roman historical societies, traders and traditional craft workers who would like to attend.
Notes for editors
The settlement of Delogovicia was a calvary base and established around AD71.
Formerly thought to be Derventio, recent research has suggested that Derventio was more likely to have been Stamford Bridge and Delogvicia is now the more widely accepted name for the Orchard Field site.
Malton Museum reopens for the season on 3rd April and has many items from the fort and local villas such as Langton and Hovingham on display.
