Helperby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Brafferton and Helperby, in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England, about five miles west of Easingwold.[2] Over the years it has joined onto Brafferton. On 1 April 2019 the parish was merged with Brafferton to form "Brafferton and Helperby".[3]
Helperby has the Millennium Village Hall, a butcher's shop and a doctor's surgery. There are two pubs, one a restaurant with rooms, one a village inn, and two churches, a Church of England and a disused Methodist Chapel which is now a house. In 2008 Helperby had a new pavilion at the football and cricket pitch.
There is also an annual beer festival held in September to raise funds for future development of a Children's play area.
The film The Life and Crimes of William Palmer was filmed in the village in 1998.
