Making a Meal of It - an exhibition for 2025
Each year we have a brand new exhibition in our special exhibition space called the High Barn.
Saturday 15 March – Sunday 30 November 2025 – now open, earlier than the previously advertised date of 24 March
From the humblest cottage bakers, to the farmers and growers, how our ancestors fed themselves is a story of hard graft. Join us on a tantalising journey through the resilience, innovation and culinary creativity of the people of the past. Behind every bite and morsel, there is a story.
Discover… the story of the Sonley bakers from Kirkbymoorside, baking recipes of Museum founder Hannah Crosland, old beer brewers and bottlers of Ryedale, pig, poultry and beekeeping of the past and ways to cook and eat your Yorkshire Pudding – plus more!
This exhibition is included with admission to the Museum. Open Saturday to Thursday from 10am to 5pm (4pm in March), closed Fridays.
