Life is to short not to be in Helmsley



Helmsley in May is a delight — mild days ( nevermind hailstone today 🤣) blossom-scented streets and a brilliant collection of independent businesses to explore. #
Wander boutique clothes and vibe shops, kit up at the outdoor store, and admire handmade jewellery, ceramics and books.
Stop for coffee at cosy cafés, enjoy lunch or dinner in welcoming restaurants, and relax in traditional pubs. Grab fresh pastries at the deli & bakery, pick up treats in the sweet shop, and find the perfect present in gift stores. Practical local favourites include Homeworks-style DIY, a building shop & sawmill, small supermarkets, the post office, cleaners, vets, pet shops, garages and the library — everything you need, all with friendly faces.
Come for the scenery, stay for the shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes, and support Helmsley’s wonderful independents this May. YorkshireCharm
