Husthwaite is an ancient settlement, one of the oldest buildings being St. Nicholas’ Parish Church dating from the twelfth century, which, with the Village Green, forms the centre of the village.

The village is a Designated Conservation Area and partly lies within the Howardian Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB). It is also a gateway to the North York Moors National Park.

Our village is a thriving local community with a wide range of activities. Many of these take place in our local Village Hall which has become a focal point of entertainment ranging from dramatic productions and talks to Scottish country dancing which culminates in a Burns Night Celebration every year.

Husthwaite Short Film Festival
Friday 31st October

Back with another handpicked selection of award winning shorts

Including drama, comedy, documentary and animated. A unique chance to see some great short films that rarely make it to the big screen. Can be as short as 5 minutes and up to 40 minutes, yet still convey a story and characters to an audience. Some of our previous “shorts” are still vividly remembered, such as “Madre” and local Oscar winner “The Silent Child”.

Bar open from 7pm, serving wine, beer, soft drinks and our own Oscar worthy cocktail, the “French 75!!”

Screenings start at 7.30pm

(Over 18 only due to content of some of the shorts)

Neighbourhood Plan For information on our progress with the Neighbourhood Plan see the Neighbourhood Plan documents page and the monthly updates listed under the Latest News section. We have just added a Draft Husthwaite Design Code Although the draft Design Code has no formal status yet, as it will be subject to full public and statutory consultation along with the draft Neighbourhood Plan in due course, the Parish Council feels it is helpful to share this now with residents and potential developers as it indicates the standards the Parish Council would like to see applied to new housing and other development in the Parish. A reminder that any queries on the new neighbourhood plan should be sent to Sarah (Aspinall)  via husthwaitepc@hotmail.co.uk.
