Not sure we are as forgotten as we felt 7 years ago now there is a full events programme to look forward to and we have just added one more!

We have something special for families this summer! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

We will let you know when ours arrive. Don’t forget we also have a guided tour this Saturday 10am with Brother Fred!

We know lots of you have been eagerly waiting to start collecting the Pride of Yorkshire lions in Barnsley. Due to a short delay in sculpture installation, a number of Barnsley lions will now be joining the trail slightly later than planned.

This will be reflected on the Pride of Yorkshire website - so make sure to check ahead before you start the trail! The link is in the comments.

Rest assured - the lions are on their way and will be worth the wait. We’ll let you know when they're in place and ready to roar! 🦁

You asked and we delivered....

At our last event you asked for more guided tours so here they are. To celebrate volunteers week Brother Fred has 2 dates to choose from.

No need to book just meet us in the main carpark inside the gates of Monk Bretton Priory.

We have visitors travel from all over to see us.
