The Stick Man

WHERE TO FIND US

We are located in the first craft workshop behind Helmsley Castle. Follow signs to "The Walled Garden" from the Car Park or follow the directions using the photographs below.

Winter opening - October to March

We get few visitors outside the 'tourist season' and since most of our customers purchase online anyway we don't need to be open all day. We will normally be in the workshop each day at some point but it could be early morning or late evening - or both! We're often out in the woods during daylight.

PLease check by email, text (07901 717853) or landline (01439 771450) if you want to visit - or you may find us closed! Even if we're in, we may be packing orders and there's not enough room inside for visitors while we are packing.

Summer Shop opening times*: 10am - 12, 1.15pm - 3pm (often later but don't rely on it!)
CLOSED EVERY SUNDAY!
*It is always best to check by 'phone (01439 771450) or e-mail before visiting, in case we're at a show or demonstrating somewhere - or just having a day off!

We do NOT normally open on Bank Holidays!

UK telephone 01439 771450 (shop opening hours, as above)

Please use E-mail if you can - we dont have a secretary so answering the phone takes up a lot of our time and stops us making sticks!

DIRECTIONS TO FIND THE WORKSHOP FROM THE MARKET PLACE IN HELMSLEY:

If you are on foot you can walk towards the castle and see the ruined keep from the inside (this is probably the most photographed bit of Helmsley) then go along the path to the right and past the new Castle entrance and the Long Stay car park. From the car park, follow the signs for the Walled Garden.

To see map click HERE (If The Stick Man does not show on the map, we are very close to the Walled Garden or Vinehouse Cafe!)

As you enter the picnic area look to your left and you get this stunning view of what remains of the castle keep. It was blown apart by the Parliamentarian army after the siege of the castle during the English Civil War. It was packed with gunpowder and destroyed so it could never be used as a fortress again - it certainly worked! Pass the picnic area and you will find more signs for the Walled Garden and Craft Workshops. It will take you about 7 minutes to walk from the car park in the town square, or two to three minutes from the Long Stay car park off Cleveland Way.

By car, at the top of the Market Place turn left in front of the Black Swan Hotel then take a right by the church. Turn left opposite the Feversham Arms into Cleveland Way. You pass the little Dolls House shop on your left and the Ryeburn Icecream Parlour (well worth a visit!!) on your right. Cleveland Way becomes a stone track in front of you - the public car parks are on your left. You will have to "Pay and Display" in here and walk a short distance to my shop.

Disabled drivers and those who find it difficult to walk far (or have items to collect) may use the private car park outside my shop free of charge for short periods - access is down the stone track at the public car park entrance. Follow the arrow to the right on the round sign for "Walled Garden Disabled
