Telling you about performances, activities and opportunities at
our lovely Masham Town Hall

Masham Town Hall is an imposing, Grade II listed stone building at the heart of the busy, beautiful and historic market town of Masham in the Yorkshire Dales. The Town Hall has provided recreational, cultural and educational events and meeting spaces for the residents of Mashamshire and our visitors for over 100 years. The building contains an imposing Main Hall with a large raised stage on the first Floor, with a Small Hall, Committee / History Room, and kitchen facilities on the Ground Floor. We host a busy programme of performances, meetings and classes, craft fairs and coffee mornings, and private hires from conferences to band practice. From nursery sessions through the Youth Club to Indoor Bowls, the Town Hall hosts events of interest to everybody in the Masham community. The Town Hall is the perfect venue for your wedding reception, affordable and charming. Children's parties are bookable at a special rate for local families. The entire building is accessible (upstairs via a lift) with induction loop facilities in the Main Hall and Small Hall.

On 12-14 November at, 7.30pm Masham Players celebrate their 80th year with Alan Ayckbourn's "Table Manners". This is a brilliantly chaotic 1973 comic play that transforms an awkward family weekend into a masterclass in domestic farce.
Set entirely within the dining room of a shabby Victorian country house, the play exposes the hilarious, passive-aggressive friction that occurs when family members are trapped together at the dinner table.
Tickets £8 from Mashamshire Community Office

Happy Sheep Fair weekend! We are proud to be a venue for this baaa-rilliant event 🐑🐑🐑

Answers to frequently asked questions for Masham Sheep Fair:
What does it cost? Entrance is free. The event is run by volunteers in aid of local charities & Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Please buy a programme (£2) and pay for parking (£10 per car - you can stuff as many people as you want into your car) to support the show.

When? From about 9 - 3.30/4 on Saturday 26th and about 10 - 3.30 on Sunday 27th

Where? In Masham, in the market place, the field behind St. Mary's Church, the Town Hall, Church, School, Methodist Chapel and around the town (yes, Masham is officially a town, not a village!)

Where can you park? Please follow signs to park on the Recreation Ground (SatNav: HG4 4DS), just off the Avenue. From there it's a very short walk up towards the Community Office (public loo on the way!) into Little Market Place. PLEASE DON'T PARK ON THE ROAD. Your car could get damaged by farm vehicles or impede emergency vehicles

Parking for Blue Badge holders is available - please follow signs from the market place.

Where & when does the sheep racing take place? In the field behind St. Mary's Church. It takes place twice a day - see the programme (£2) for full details

Does sheep racing hurt the sheep? No! Sheep like to run after food. No-one rides them (One year some Americans thought they did and planned a protest which resulted in more publicity for the Sheep Fair and more people supporting the sheep races)

Are dogs allowed? Yes, so long as they are kept on a short lead, particularly around sheep. They may not be allowed into all buildings, especially at busy times.

Where does the money go? To Yorkshire Air Ambulance and other local charities and organisations in Masham and surrounding area. Many other charities and groups take stalls during the show to fundraise for their organisations so we encourage visitors to support them too.

What else can you do while in Masham? Go to the office for local info, visit the shops, galleries, pubs and cafes.

Is Masham a town or village? It's officially a town, but village sized and with a friendly village mentality

How do you say Masham? It's Mass-am, not mash-em.

We look forward to seeing you at the Show!!
