Special Offers

2 for 1 for locals in Hambleton and Richmondshire

Local people can now visit on 'two for one' tickets, promotional deals have been set up with local newspapers and Grand Central Railway; and new events are in the pipeline.

"We have got a series of exciting new measures all designed to enable the people of Hambleton and Richmondshire - the very people that have supported us since we opened - to visit us once more," said Centre Manager, Phil Bustard.

"But we also think a lot of people do not go to places on their doorsteps and we hope this 2 for 1 promotion will encourage them to come along and see what we have on offer."

The centre - a tribute to vet come author Alf Wight - houses the largest veterinary collection in the UK as well as recreated 40s style rooms and tributes to the BBC TV series, All Creatures Great and Small.

And from next week, Alf Wight's son Jim, will be making regular appearances at the centre to sign the book he wrote about his father, 'The Real James Herriot'. He will be in the centre from 11am to 12.30pm on August 16, 18 and 30; and September 1, 6, 8, 13 and 15.

Local people simply need to show proof of address to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer (which expires December 31st).
Offers are also being included in a raft of local newspapers across Yorkshire and the North East and ticket holders from Grand Central Railway train can also gain admission on a 2 for 1 basis.
