Ryedale Folk Museum

The probation service in North Yorkshire has worked with the Ryedale Folk Museum over the last six years, with community payback participants helping out at the museum. Below is the link to a new short film that shows some of their fantastic work.

We recently held our very first adult learner week celebrations, offering free workshops upon entry to the museum. Courses included blacksmithing, mangle print making, proddy hearts, creative embroidery, felt making and much more. We had great interest in all courses and the week ran well. I therefore thought I would share some of the photographs we took during the week.

Look whats landed in the Ryedale Folk Museum grounds!

On Friday 19th November the model village at Ryedale Folk Museum was officially declared complete and open!  The volunteers have worked on restoring the village since its arrival in 2008.  For more history of the project see volunteer John Nicoll's previous blog post - http://ryedalefolkmuseum.blogspot.com/2009/06/john-nicoll-workshop-volunteer.html   The official unveiling of the plaque was performed by Anne Mcintosh MP.  See the video below: C.G
