Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Rufforth

10 picks around Rufforth, from 6 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Rufforth

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Rufforth, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Boeing Boeing

at Joseph Rowntree Theatre

This 1960s French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” – until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time.

Little Fish

at Kirk Deighton Institute

This very informal service is for all young families, particularly following a child’s baptism. Parents enjoy the chance to meet others of like mind. The children, from babies to pre-school and early school age enjoy time with parents for stories, songs, arts and crafts, prayer and refreshments. We meet on the last Sunday of the month at 3:00pm.
