Malton Regency Country Ball 2026
Malton Regency Country Ball 2026
Date: Friday 9th October 2026
Join us in the Milton Rooms for a Regency Country Ball with live music from Ebor Quartet and dance calling from historic dance expert Lottie Adcock!
Less formal than its city counterpart, a Regency country ball gave people the chance to come together to dance, socialise and meet new people. We’re recreating the country ball experience and invite you to take part – put on your finest frock (Georgian costume encouraged but not essential!) and your dancing shoes for a night of social dancing.
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!
