The Shed is a pint-sized arts venue on the edge of the North
Yorkshire moors founded by Simon Thackray in 1992. The Shed is
renowned for presenting world-class music and poetry - from Katia
Labeque to Carol Ann Duffy, Les Murray to Lau - and Simon Thackray's
unique live-art events that are the 'essence of Shedness':
The Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race ®, The Fish and Chip Van
Tour, and Lol Coxhill in a skip are just a few of his 'weird
and wonderful' events entertaining audiences from across the
UK.
"For the past 18 years, The Shed, near the market
town of Malton, has been responsible for some of the smallest
and most inspired art events in the country.' Alfred Hickling

Review by
Charles Hutchinson
"HOW did you spend
your Sunday? How about driving for an hour into ever hardier
Yorkshire country; following intermittent improvised signs to
the River Seven, down the narrowest of moorland lanes; then watching
cars being pushed up a muddy incline to park in a field, before
a cross-country trek to a babbling brook." Read the
