Slingsby Flower and Garden Weekend
S
23-25th June 2017
lingsby Church was the subject of repeated burglaries at the end of 2016 when most of the lead was stripped from the roof, causing major water damage. The estimated repair costs are around £150,000 with the local community hoping to raise at least £15,000 to support other sources of funding. This year marks both the 150th Anniversary of the rebuilding of All Saints Church and the 180th anniversary of the building of Slingsby Chapel. To celebrate, and to raise funds towards the replacement of the church roof there are plans for a grand flower festival and open gardens weekend. The festival opens on Friday 23rd June with a concert in All Saints Church featuring Malton School Jazz Band and our nationally known local soprano, Jane Goldsmith and Slingsby School Choir. Wine
