What's on in Heslington

North Yorkshire, England

Heslington sits quietly in North Yorkshire, yet it never feels quite so quiet that you forget there's a plan for your afternoon. The Holmefield Community Centre has been hosting local gatherings for years, while the Heslington Meeting Room often pops up with something useful or fun. It is a place where neighbours know each other's names and what's on the calendar without needing to ask twice. Pub nights and family events tend to cluster around the village green, keeping things lively even when the weather turns grey. We pull all those local notices into one spot so you can decide which evening suits your schedule best. No need to hunt for flyers or check a dozen websites when everything is right here in the village.

Gallery Babies

Gallery Babies Thursday 16 April 2026, 10am - 12pm Free | Pre-booking required | Sold Out Burton Gallery Drop-in sensory play sessions every Thursday during term-time, for pre-walking babies and their grown-ups, set in the atmospheric surroundings of York Art Gallery. Using our beautiful sensory toolkit, a collection of colourful squishy sculptural objects, sessions will be gently facilitated, exploring shape, colour and texture. Gallery Babies is a welcoming and supportive space to relax, bond with your baby and meet other parents and carers, providing a bit of calm and care to your daily routine. The session starts at 10am and finishes at 12pm, but you can drop in and out at any time. Even after the session has finished, our sensory toolkit will remain on gallery for you to continue to explore with your baby. These sessions are designed for pre-walking babies, however we understand that you may have your hands full with more than one child! If that’s the case the Studio will be open and can be used as a space to play, read and eat much needed snacks outside of the galleries if needed. Buggy parking and baby changing facilities available. We are also offering a special offer in Sketch café for anybody attending a session: Hot drink and cake £7.00 and lunch and drink £15.00. Please note: Gallery Babies admission includes free access to the permanent gallery spaces, tickets for temporary exhibitions require a separate admissions ticket.
