Cuppa Connect

Every Tuesday afternoon from October 2025 to March 2026, ‘Cuppa Connect’ will run offering a warm, welcome space for anyone in Sherburn in Elmet. This is a multi-generational space, so parents with young children or older people are welcome, and anyone in-between!

Every week, we’ll offer free hot drinks and cakes.

Volunteer digital champions will be on hand to help get online, install apps or solve as many IT problems as they can. You can bring your own device, or use ours.

Most weeks we’ll have a special theme or event – look out for details on local posters or follow Sherburn and Villages Community Trust on Facebook or The Old Girls’ School Community Centre on Facebook.

This and other sessions and activities are shown on the Sherburn events calendar.
