The Yorkshire Scandinavian Christmas market that once sold pate ... - The Yorkshire Post

These days, there’s no baths involved but that Danish liver pate remains one of the many products available at East Yorkshire’s Scandinavian Christmas Market. The market is set to return on November 25 at the Danish Church in Hull. Organised by the church and its partner organisation, the Nordic House cultural centre, it attracts visitors from across the North. This year, organisers say they are building up the market with more space and extended opening hours as it continues to recover from the…

'Don't regret not doing things' - EastEnders star Linda Marlowe on ...

If there is one message that writer Colin Skevington and actress Linda Marlowe want audiences to take from their short film The Lossen, it is that of the sadness in unfulfilled dreams. “It’s to not live your life waiting for things to happen,” 83-year-old Marlowe says. “There are bad things and good things [in life] but don’t regret that you’ve not done things…Don’t leave something until you get really old and say I wish I could turn the clock back. “I am old now and I don’t feel like that. I…

'Without them, the NHS wouldn't exist' - New exhibition shines ligh...

The pair of paediatricians from India had met on their first day of medical school in Kolkata and after finishing their postgraduate training, were mulling over their next steps. Many of their friends had travelled to the UK for experience working in the NHS and Arnab’s father was keen for them to do the same. A professor at an engineering college, he had studied for his PhD in Sheffield in the 1950s and found that time overseas had broadened his horizons. “It stuck with us that he wanted us to…

Yorkshire author inspired to write about love and loss after being ...

A child outside of wedlock would almost certainly have been frowned upon – and so Sandy kept her news hidden from her mother. “I couldn’t bear how much it would hurt her and the shame it would bring to her,” she says. “My father knew. We were trying to protect my mother. But it must have been quite hard for him knowing what was happening and not telling her.” Sandy fled Australia and moved in with an acquaintance in London, telling her mother she was spending some time overseas. When her daughte…

This week, we’ve run a Deck the Halls special series, going behind the scenes to explore Christmas at some of the region’s stately homes. We’ve featured Harewood House, Treasurer’s House, Castle Howard, Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens and Chatsworth House. We’ve also looked at how a new exhibition in Leeds is shining a light on the vital role of migration for the health service, telling the stories of migrant NHS workers in the region. We spoke to Marks and Gran, who wrote some of the top televisi…

Yorkshire charity Homeless Street Angels release Christmas single t...

Cold hands receive hot drinks. Volunteers wearing Santa hats and tinsel hand out cooked meals and warm coats. There’s embrace after embrace after embrace, symbols of kindness, of care, of gratitude, of friendship. All can be seen in footage capturing the efforts of the Leeds-based Homeless Street Angels, a charity helping those sleeping rough on the city’s streets. Accompanying lyrics have been heartfeltly crafted by some of those involved in the organisation. “There are angels on earth,” the so…

How rewilding efforts in Yorkshire are supporting the recovery of ....

Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of nature, including habitats, natural processes and missing species. National charity Rewilding Britain says it offers “hope in the face of today’s biggest global issues” and the organisation is working to reconnect people with nature, improve biodiversity and tackle climate change. The Yorkshire Rewilding Network is a key part of that. “Our main aim is connecting, inspiring and enabling rewilding throughout Yorkshire,” says community engagement officer…

PP Arnold, rewilding and Yorkshire prehistoric monuments: The Yorks...

we spoke to author Adam Morgan Ibbotson who says Yorkshire has some of the best prehistoric monuments in the world. Yorkshire dog groomer James Holberry told us how he overcame spinal injury to compete and teach around the world. We heard from a Yorkshire historian about women’s role in the miners’ strike and the differing stances held during that turbulent year from 1984-5. We hopped on board the driver’s cab of a TransPennine Express train to hear about delays, training and trespassers. We exp…

FareShare Yorkshire: How charity is helping to feed thousands in .....

There have been times when children as young as two or three have cheered at the sight of food items packaged in a box, grateful to be one of the families on the receiving end of a food parcel. A heartbreaking observation from Norfolk Community Primary School in Sheffield, where packages are handed out to some of the community’s most vulnerable families. But it’s far from the only place where there’s a need for food. At PAFRAS Leeds (Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers), up to 80 fo…

Meet the Yorkshire teaching assistant marking ten years since breas...

“I wasn’t really in the habit of checking my breasts regularly – I just did it every now and then,” she recalls. “However, when I looked in the mirror, I noticed that my left breast was a bit lower than the other one and it just didn’t seem quite right. Although I couldn’t feel a lump, I made an appointment with my GP straight away.” At that check, nearing ten years ago now, Emma’s doctor found a lump and she was referred to Doncaster Royal Infirmary for further tests. Just weeks later, she rece…
