in the heart of Hambleton
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.

North Yorkshire is one of the safest places to live in the UK. However, for some people, going into their local town or city centre can be intimidating.
