in the heart of Hambleton
Farlington is a small, picturesque farming village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire.
The village has a 12th century church, St. Leonards, a good pub, the Blacksmith’s Arms, and has a small stream, Farlington Beck running through it.
Farlington is ideally situated for a walk in the Hambleton Hills, a visit to Castle Howard, a day out in the historic city of York, or the market town of Malton.
A traditional evening with friends around a fire.
There will be BBQ sausages to purchase or bring your own food if you prefer, plus a drink for yourselves.
We will be lighting the bonfire at around 6 complete with a Guy — if anyone would like to make a Guy please do, the more the merrier.
A child friendly evening with no fireworks.
8th November, 5.30 – 7.30pm, Park Field

During the long hot summer, NYCALC has been earnestly preparing for what will be our busiest time of year, autumn and winter.
The shorter and chillier days place far more demand on people’s pockets and see a dramatic increase in people attending our drop-ins, outreach sessions and calling the telephone adviceline. As you will be well aware, everyday living remains expensive with food prices rising and energy bills unpredictable, sadly resulting in hardship for many. Over the last year debt has become an increasingly common problem, with an 18% increase in NYCALC’s cases. We are proud that we have been able to help people tackle this distressing issue constructively and enable £3,288,934 of debt to be written off across the county.
