Authors in the Abbey is returning for its second year. This year we have over thirty Authors and bookish vendors attending the Abbey. Authors from Selby, North Yorkshire and the Surrounding areas are bringing their books, which have diverse topics and genres including poetry, romance, science fiction and crime to name a few. This year we also have panels and talks from the authors taking place on subjects that include how they became a writer, what happens when your favourite book is turned into a TV series and many more including a question and answer session. There will also be a lucky dip for those who have bought books from the authors and a tombola. The Abbey coffee and gift shop will be open from 10:00 until 3:30pm for refreshments.

Let Beauty awake - Free afternoon recital with James Dhonau (Tenor)

James, the tenor choral scholar here at Selby Abbey, is delighted to present Let Beauty Awake, a recital of opera, art song, musical theatre, and comic song exploring the many faces of love – from youthful dreams and romance to reflection, longing, and moments of humour. Featuring music by Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, Vaughan Williams, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Gilbert and Sullivan, and others, this programme weaves together a journey of hope, passion, doubt, and wit, bringing beloved characters and stories to life. A lifelong lover of music and drama, James is passionate about conveying emotion and storytelling through song, seeking to connect with audiences through both tenderness and comedy. Having completed his music degree at the University of York, he aspires to pursue a professional career in opera, with plans for further study at master’s level at a conservatoire. We hope you can join us for this evocative and entertaining recital, promising both moving and light-hearted moments in equal measure. The Selby Abbey gift/coffee shop will be open from 10:30 until 3:30pm
