Activities
We met Jennifer when we were looking for someone to carve a date stone for our latest project.
Jennifer produces some amazing stone sculptures and also runs a few stone carving courses each year.
Under Jennifer’s guidance Roger spent a weekend turning a piece of limestone into a carving of a highland bull.
Malton is gaining a big reputation for food and attracting unique food producers.
With just a few organised tours each month, early booking is strongly recommended.
Choose from the artisan or gin o’clock tour.
