There will not be a quiz in the Coach House Inn on Sunday 24 May because of the Bank Holiday, so the next of the ever popular brain teasers will be on Sunday 31 May starting at 8.30pm. The entry fee is £2 per head which includes entry to the cash prize open-the-box raffle at the end of the quiz. Also the winning team receives a £20 Coach House voucher for use in the bar and restaurant, so if you are not a regular come along with some mates and give it a go!
An interesting new addition has been made to the collection of Rosedale historical artifacts on display in St Mary and St Lawrence Church, Rosedale Abbey, in the form of a diorama of an ironstone miner with a tub load of ironstone coming out of a mine entrance:
The lovely diorama was skillfully made by Mark and Muriel Scaife, residents of Hill Cottages, Rosedale East, and donated to the Rosedale History Archive in May 2026. More detail can be read in the notice above the model.
Because of the May Bank Holiday there will not be a pub quiz in the Coach House on Sunday 3 May, so the next will be on Sunday 10 May starting at 8.30pm.
Entry is £2 per head and includes a raffle for a substantial ‘open the box’ cash prize, matched by a donation to a charity of the winner’s choice by the Coach House. Also the winning team wins a cash voucher of £20 for exchange at the bar or restaurant.
If you are not a regular, gather some chums together (teams of 4 to 6 are ideal) and come along and enjoy some great fun along with some mild mental stimulation!
The Knott Road will be closed from the cattle grid to the Ralph’s Cross junction on 13 May for two days:
The next charity coffee morning in the Coach House Inn will be in aid of our local mountain rescue team and will run from 10.00 to 12.00 am this coming Saturday.
Entry is free but donations for coffee and biscuits and items for the ever popular raffle would be much appreciated.
The very popular Coach House Sunday night pub quiz will not occur on Easter Sunday, but will resume on Sunday 12 April with the new starting time of 8.30pm.
If you you haven’t been to one before or are just an irregular then come along and enjoy the fun and the mild mental stimulation along with a chance to win some cash in the ‘Open The Box’ charity raffle
Join David Haddon Reece who will lead a Palm Sunday Service Sunday, 29th March. Rosedale Abbey Church 10am all welcome. This time of year, the Church is full of people and butterflies, both enjoying the warmth of the spring sunshine.
Thank you to the 22 folk who came together for the Choir workshop and sincerest thanks to Choir Master Maddy Hudson for leading the day and introducing us all to singing together. A good sum of £70 was raised for the Church roof in the process. More details to come of the next steps for The Rosedale Singers.
