During 2026, we’re celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of The Old Girls’ School in Sherburn in Elmet. Look out for a series of special events.
The building was saved from likely demolition and transformed into a buzzing community centre in 2018.
Find out more about the services available and how we refurbished the building.
