Entertainment

Although Brawby is within easy reach of a number of entertainment venues in nearby, Pickering, Malton & York, Brawby does offer an interesting mix of entertainment for its local residents and tourists alike. The Shed,[3] a live music venue, offers both live music and performance art and attracts artists from all over the world, its success is very much accredited to its imaginative creator, Simon Thackray.[4] .
