Sexhow hosts an annual Christian festival every summer. Formerly called Harvest, it is now named Elim.

Sexhow station was on the Picton-Battersby Line; it operated from 1857 until passenger services on the line ended in 1954.

There used to be a hall where Sexhow Park Farm now stands. Sexhow Park Farm has been the location of the 'Cornshed' music festival since 1986.

A legendary dragon that plagued the village is a folk tale known as The Worm of Sexhow. It was described as being a beast that would feed on dairy and breathe out fire to burn farmers crops. One day, a knight came into the village, slew the beast and rode out again. The beast's scaly skin was said to have been displayed inside nearby Hutton Rudby church.
