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.
Bring a bottle, a snack or two and a blanket to the village green at 8.30pm on Thursday 8 May 2025 to join with others in commemorating the end of the war in Europe on 8 May 1945. The Crown beacon will be ceremonially re-lit at 9.30pm in line with the the national beacon lighting and there will be appropriate music and song, and maybe some dancing!
See you all there for a good knees up.

CAROLS ON THE GREEN – 23 DECEMBER 2024
Around 45 stalwart locals and visitors gathered on the village green on a cold, drizzly evening to sing carols and enjoy hot mulled cider and mince pies, all in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Just over £280 was raised for this very important charity (afternote: the amount now stands at £311.40), a sum which exceeds last year’s donations so well done to all.
Umbrellas at the ready while the cider mulls away quietly!
As ever, heartfelt thanks to all who so generously contributed to the charity, also to Craig and Nicola from Abbey Stores who helped set up the location and to James from Graze on The Green for his outstanding mince pies. We hope the weather next year will be better and with it an even higher donation to the Air Ambulance, a vital emergency service for a remote rural community like Rosedale.
In the meantime a very Happy Christmas and, God willing, a Peaceful New Year to all our viewers, regular and occasional, on this site.
