An informal get together for businesses in Rosedale on 17th March 7pm at the Coach House.

The RBF began in 2010 with the idea of building a website hub for business in Rosedale to promote all that Rosedale has to offer to visitors and locals alike.

The regularly updated news section is still a rich seam of info and events within the dale and we offer our sincere thanks to Paddy who keeps this news section working !

We hope you like the new look website, and if any businesses want to join the site drop us a line.

Thank you the RBF team.

In addition to our regular Holy Communion Services in Rosedale Church, we are adding occasional theme services. These will consist of hymns, readings, prayers and a little talk. The first one on Sunday 22nd February at 9.15am is on the theme of Lent.It will last about 25minutes and will be led by Sarah Dee.

Also. Rosedale Church Annual Parochial Church Meeting, 6pm, 28th March in church, open to all. 

The calculators have been hard at work and the results for the fundraising effort are now in – over £2,100 was raised for the church appeal and over 500 visitors were recorded for the three days of the even – an outstanding result and a tribute to the hard work of Sam’s team of volunteers and the generosity of donors and visitors alike.

The same again for 2026?

Please note that to allow the staff some R&R, no food will be served on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during this period although the bar will be open as shown and crisps and nuts will be available!

Best wishes for 2026 to all from Dave and the Coach House Team.

Well done, Maggie! Another mention in the Sunday Times, this time on 14 December:

All the hard work in preparation is now over and the Christmas Tree Festival in St Mary and St Lawrence Church in Rosedale Abbey is now open for visitors with 31 decorated trees on display:

Light refreshments are available in the church throughout the festival and there are some sales tables where the Rosedale Calendar and other seasonal gifts may be bought – just ask one of the helpers.

The Festival will run through until Sunday 14 December and will end with carols with mulled cider and mince pies at 5.30 pm – entry is free and donations to the Church Appeal would be very welcome, so bring the family along, get inspiration for your own tree decorations and pick up some presents at the same time!

AFTERNOTE: Over 500 visitors were recorded for the three days of the festival and £2,100 was raised for the church appeal – an outstanding result and a tribute to all the hard work and generosity of the volunteers and visitors.

From Rosedale Abbey to the Hartoft junction – use Heygate and Hancow Road during the closed periods.
