Upcoming Events
Toilet Renovation Project
We are pleased to announce that the renovation of our toilets begins on Monday 19th January 2026. This means the building will be closed from that date for three to four weeks, but we can look forward to much needed improvement to our existing toilet facilities which will enable accessible and inclusive facilities for all users. This has been possible due to a generous grant from York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority through the Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which will cover 80% of the planned cost. The rest of the funding has been acquired from many fund raising activities, generous donations from villagers and also N.Y.C. Councillor Simon Myers from his Locality Budget.
