Summer may not have been as kind as we’d have liked, but who cares – the festival season is in full swing and we can’t wait to get involved with the fantastic events that York has to offer this month! Have a look through our guide to ensure that you uncover the best bits of York during your stay.

Who doesn’t love food? The Festival of Food and Drink is sure to dish up some delicious treats, and there’ll be lots of fascinating events – we’re particularly excited about the ‘eat-along’ talk where local expert Andrew ‘Bones’ Jones will explain what sort of things people used to eat in days gone by – with food provided. See you there – we’ll be the ones first at the nibbles!

Are you a bike nut (see what we did there)? Even if you aren’t, you’ll be able to enjoy the Festival of Cycling –

there’ll be have-a-go sessions for all abilities, as well as guided tours – what better way to see York?

If you’re more of the bookworm type, you’ll be dazzled by the York National Book Fair, which will see the biggest event yet in the fair’s 38 year history. There’ll be a huge range of rare and hard-to-find books on every topic you can think of. Are you a green-fingered guru? Head to Beningbrough Hall’s plant fair and take a special souvenir home with you from the estate.

No matter what your interest, there’ll probably be a festival for you to enjoy – and if not a festival, then an equally exciting event, exhibition, show or tour – to make your stay in the city fantastic. Head to our events section to find out more!
