Visit Sledmere

Visit East Yorkshire’s “finest country house” at Sledmere, near Driffield, with Barton Civic Society and Wilderspin volunteers.  The trip includes a guided tour of the country house, with its beautiful walled garden.  Then, there will be time to see the rare breed farm park, explore the spacious grounds – ideal for a picnic, and visit the Wagoners’ Museum which tells the story of the Wagoners’ Special Reserve and their horse drawn supply wagons in the First World War.

Coach pick-up at 9.30am from the Wilderspin & National School Museum, Queen Street.  Arriving back in Barton by approximately 4.30 pm.

Cost per person £20.00 including travel, entry and tour fees.  Payment should be made in advance at the Wilderspin School Museum.

Call in at Wilderspin to book or ring (01652) 635172.

Visit Leicestershire

We are planning a trip to Pickwell Church to see and hear the organ that was removed in the 1960s from the former Primitive Methodist Chapel – now the Joseph Wright Hall.  There will be a chance to visit Oakham too.  It’s on Thursday 28 July, departing at 8.30am and returning by 5.30pm.  The cost is £20.  Tel.
