THE KNARESBOROUGH ELEVEN RETURNS!
Another chance to see the original play inspired by the real events of the Knaresborough Castle Riot in 1886. The Knaresborough Eleven tells the story of a community standing together in the face of injustice.

Devised through community workshops, the play draws on local research conducted by Howard Johnson, a descendent of one of the Rioters, Jackie Glew, who wrote The Extraordinary Tale of the Castle Yard Riot, and is proudly supported by the Knaresborough Museum, Rabbit Head Productions Ltd and Knaresborough Town Council.

As we celebrate Volunteer Week, we want to shine a huge spotlight on every person who gives their time to help make our town such a special place.

We are so grateful to all the incredible volunteers across our town who make things happen every single day. You’re the reason Knaresborough is such a brilliant place to live, work, and enjoy - a community full of heart, energy, and generosity.

A big thank you as well to our Town Councillors - while you are elected members, you give your time, dedication, and commitment to serve our community; working to support, protect and improve our town.

And of course, an extra‑special shout‑out to The Mayor of Knaresborough’s volunteer Town Guides - your passion for sharing our history, stories, and hidden gems brings Knaresborough to life for residents and visitors alike.

Thank you to every single one of you 💛
