Hey Beverley! Here’s What You Won’t Want to Miss This Week
Feeling social? This week brings a brilliant mix of live music, family events, and a few surprises. You can crack clues across York on a family-friendly puzzle trail, solve a murder mystery at The Game Shack, or just kick back at one of the many pub quizzes and board game nights.
Want something meaningful? Oakwood Dog Rescue is hosting a funfair-style fundraiser at the end of the month, and it's shaping up to be a feel-good favourite. Plus, Sewerby Hall is in the spotlight for its excellence, and they’ve just welcomed a new baby penguin!
It’s a week that mixes fun, community spirit, and a little mystery - scroll down to see what’s on near you.
