Date: Thursday 18th June

Time: 6.30pm for 7pm

Where: Assembly Rooms, enter through The Malton Museum on Yorkersgate.

Ticket: £10pp

When my children were young, we lived on a dairy farm, but I always rather liked sheep. One day I bought a drop a drop spindle and a Jacob fleece to have a go at spinning. Self- taught, the results were fairly good and I was hooked on the idea of producing yarn.

Next development was a spinning wheel and a Jacob sheep, no turning back! I now have 40 Jacob and a Jacob cross all growing beautiful wool for me,

All my garments are hand knitted and it is great to know that I am keeping an old tradition alive in these days of mass production and synthetics .I feel sure you will enjoy hearing about my unusual lifestyle and seeing the results of my labours.

Location: 17 Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX

Tickets: £30.00

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.

Malton Roman Festival V – July 19 2026

To celebrate the fifth year of the Malton Roman Festival the team at Malton Museum have added an additional V to the name. This is because V in Roman numerals (or rather letters) is their equivalent of 5.

Our Roman festival is taking place on the first Sunday of the summer holidays on 19th July between 10:00am and 16:00, so if you haven’t booked your summer holiday yet push it back for a week or two and come along to Orchard Field in Malton for a day of family fun.

Orchard Field is the site of the Roman fort and civilian site called Delgovicia which was established circa AD71. The site was known as Derventio, but academic research has identified the Roman Site at Stamford Bridge as the site of Derventio. “There is something special about running a Roman festival on the site of the old Roman Fort”, stated festival organiser Louise Lewis.

Malton Roman Festival V will have several re-enactor groups which include calvary unit Equistry and legionary units Legio VI Victrix, Magister Militum and Longthorpe Legion as well as the Brigantes of Wincobank Hill representing the British population of that time. As well as marching and weaponry  demonstrations the legions will be recruiting for the Kids Roman Army and their march around the site.

The festival will also feature a selection of talks and question/answer sessions by historians, authors of fiction and non-fiction books which in previous years has included Terry Deary, Simon J Turney and Dr Simon Elliott. The museum will keep us updated in the run up to the actual date so please follow their social media pages and the website www.maltonmuseum.com

The festival has plenty to do for children and plenty of food and drink will be on hand to keep everyone happy. There will also be stalls from local archaeological groups and the Museum, sharing archaeological finds with the public.

The festival is run entirely by volunteers and if you want to volunteer for the preparation phase or on the day please contact the museum on enquiries.maltonmuseum@gmail.com.

If you or your business would like to donate to or sponsor some element of our Roman Festival, please also get in touch at the address above, we'd love to talk to you about it.

And finally the price will be held at £10 for adults with children under 5 free remaining good value for a family day out. Children between 5 and 15 cost £5 per head but family tickets are available at £20.

See you there or “Te ibi videbo” as the Romans would say.

Location: 17 Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX

Tickets: £30.00

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.

You needn’t be a dance expert as Lottie will lead you through all the steps, and singles as well as couples are welcome to take part. With lively dances and professional musicians, this promises to be a delightful evening of dance suitable for all levels.

This event is part of Malton Regency Weekend. For the full events listing, visit the Malton Museum Events page.

‍The Cook’s Walk – Malton’s Ultimate Food & Culture Tour

‍Discover Malton like never before. Join Gilly, founder of The Cook’s Place, for a behind-the-scenes walking tour packed with incredible food, local stories, and hidden gems.

This isn’t your typical walking tour. The Cook’s Walk is led by Gilly Robinson, founder and head chef of The Cook’s Place in Malton, offering an insider’s view of the town’s independent food scene and history. Think of it as exploring with a friend who knows everyone and everything about the local food scene - guiding you to the very best spots. It’s a hands-on way to discover the town’s rich heritage, meet its passionate producers, and experience Yorkshire food culture at its heart. ‍

During the four hours with Gilly you will sip artisan coffee, taste award-winning treats, and explore Malton’s best - from independent breweries and cheesemongers to bakeries, delis, and more. Along the way, uncover the town’s rich history, vibrant food scene, and unique character.

The tour will finish with a chance to sit down, enjoy a delicious light lunch made with ingredients from regional producers, and an exclusive chat with a special guest - a local ‘Food Hero’. Each monthly tour features a different local food hero, giving a brilliant reason to come back again!

Each four-hour tour concludes around 2.30pm, leaving visitors free to continue exploring Malton’s shops, markets, cafes and other attractions.
