Charity Bake Sale on Sat 27 June @ 10:30

Sadly, last year a very special person in the lives of Emily and Neave who attend Hungate primary school in Sherburn, was diagnosed with brain cancer, so they are doing a bake sale to raise funds for the University of Liverpool’s research programme.

The University of Liverpool's new Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer) Fund has been set up to support ground-breaking research into immunotherapy, a promising new treatment for glioblastoma.
Come in and support this fantastic cause and enjoy some homemade goodies!

This looks like a fun book-related art installation at the Sherburn NowThen Festival this Sunday.

Noisy Noise Noise is an interactive sound library for noisy children and their grown-ups. There are over 90 books, each of which will, when pressed with a gentle finger, trigger a noise. It could be a song, a film clip, a meme or just something a bit rude and funny!

Noisy Noise Noise will be on display 12 - 6 in Eversley Park, Sherburn.
