🎤 Festival of Small Halls is coming to York!

We’re beyond excited to be the local presenter for the Festival of Small Halls Winter Tour 2025, bringing world-class music to our own York Town Hall on Friday 15 August!

This tour features Emily Barker, one of Australia’s finest contemporary folk artists, and powerhouse Canadian bluesman Charlie A’Court – plus a warm-up set from a local emerging artist (to be announced soon!).

York is punching above its weight when it comes to live music – let’s keep it that way. Grab your tickets, tell your friends, and come celebrate live music in our beautiful town hall.

After around 20 years of making York Cottages and Burnley House home, the leader of our alpaca group, Midnight, sadly passed away yesterday. He was definitely the boss of his herd for many years. His poor hips finally gave way and we helped him cross the rainbow bridge. He was surrounded by his herd when his time came. We are sad that he is gone but grateful for the time he had with us.
Goodbye Midnight, I hope you are with Katie now.
