Councillor Tim Grogan, Selby District Council Executive Member with responsibility for Health and Culture, said:

“As a district we offer a warm and genuine welcome, as well as authentic and exciting product.

“The aim of our very first residents’ engagement festival is to showcase the wide range of activities and experiences available.

“There are some fantastic offers and one-off experiences available, for our residents to enjoy over the weekend, as well as live music and family entertainment in each of our three towns.

“The district’s very own Cray Bakes will even be creating a special ‘Heart of Yorkshire’ brownie that will be available at the Selby Farmer and Craft market on the Saturday, so I would really encourage our residents to spend time in our district, ‘Get To Know Your Own Heart’ and really discover what we have to offer.”

Grace Chapman, Selby District Visitor Economy Advisory Board Member and Community Engagement Officer of Selby Abbey, said:

“Now, more than ever, is a time for local discovery and the ‘Get To Know Your Own Heart’ residents’ engagement festival will inspire and encourage residents to learn more about their district and explore their own doorstep.”

“We’re very excited to be offering after hours and family tours for the first time, as part of the festival. It’s a fantastic chance for residents and locals to come along, experience the Abbey – and see it in a whole different light.”
