Geography

Brawby is located on the edge of the North York Moors, about 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Pickering, and 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Malton.[4] Although Brawby is located in a quiet rural area of North Yorkshire, Kirby Misperton is only 4 miles (6.4 km) away, and is the site of one of the most popular Zoo and Theme parks in England, Flamingoland.[5]

Entertainment

Although Brawby is within easy reach of a number of entertainment venues in nearby, Pickering, Malton and York, Brawby does offer an interesting mix of entertainment for its local residents and tourists alike. The Shed,[6] 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.[7]
