Yipee, it's that time of year again - hail, rain, thunder, mud, frozen fingers, squashy sandwiches - yes, it's the Bishopthorpe Gala! Bit cynical? Well, for several years now, members of the Bishopthorpe Local History Group have tried to keep books, photos, displays etc from dissolving into a soggy pulp under a pooling gazebo. So have we been downhearted? Not a bit of it - we're back for more this Saturday! (Mind you, last year was a bit touch and go!)The great thing is - come rain or shine - everyone turns out and has a good time. And dare I mention that Saturday's forecast isn't bad -shhh!
Do visit the Local History gazebo where, this year, we're featuring a BISHOPTHORPE EDWARDIAN TIMELINE. Discover what went on in the village between 1901 and 1910 - moles, suffragettes, a railway station? It may surprise you.
BISHOPTHORPE PALACE GROUNDS, 12 noon to 4.00 pm.
Fun for all the family.
