Geography

Brawby is located on the edge of the North York Moors, about eight miles south-west of Pickering, and eight miles north-west of Malton. Although Brawby is located in a quiet rural area of North Yorkshire, Kirby Misperton is only 4 miles away, and is the site of one of the most popular Zoo & Theme parks in England, Flamingoland.

Entertainment

Although Brawby is within easy reach of a number of entertainment venues in nearby, Pickering, Malton & York, Brawby does offer an interesting mix of entertainment for its local residents and tourists alike. The Shed,[3] 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.[4] .
