St Mary's Church, Fridaythorpe was restored in 1902–3 with the addition of a new north aisle designed by C. Hodgson Fowler and stained glass by Burlison and Grylls. In January 1967 the church was designated a Grade-I listed building and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[3] It is on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Churches Group.[4]
The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail, a long-distance footpath passes through the village and the village is the midpoint of the trail.

Carriers operated between the village and Driffield every Thursday, and York every Saturday. In the village was a Methodist chapel.[6]
The village previously hosted the World Championship Flat Cap Throwing Competition at its summer fete. The championship was last contested in 2014.[7][8][9]
