Welcome to the Rosedale blog. This is where we share news and information about events in Rosedale and the wider community throughout the year. You’ll also find news about the village timetable, our micro enterprises, school events, clubs, and lively socials.
One of the Ryedale elves has told me that Father Christmas is planning to visit Rosedale Abbey on this coming Monday, 2 December, and will be stopping outside the school gates at around 4.40pm.
See you all there!
