About
York River Art Market is a unique, award winning, open air Art & Design market.
This event is happening over 3 weekends in August:
- 1st and 2nd August 2026
- 8th and 9th August 2026
- 15th and 16th August 2026
A true Summer Time gem not to be missed and a must to add to your Saturday / Sunday schedule over the Summer. York River Art Market is a FREE weekly event set in a stunning, riverside, city centre location just minutes away from the train station.
YRAM’s relaxed and vibrant atmosphere has been compared to Left Bank in Paris and welcomes all. YRAM is free of charge to come along and you are free to browse/buy directly from an array of Yorkshire based artists. Meander along the riverside walkway where you will find over 30 x different artists exhibiting their art works along the railings. Our neighbours at the ice cream boat ‘Over the Moo’ and restaurants Starr Inn the City and Roots will satisfy your taste buds though you may opt for a picnic besides the river or in the Museum Gardens. Whatever you decide on doing, be sure to come and enjoy this laid-back scene besides the river this Summer.
YRAM hosts a broad range of artists and makers. Expect to find ceramics, jewellery, paintings, prints, photographs, clothing, candles and much more. We care that each of the 6 x events (ran over 3 x weekends) are never the same and so we host a different variety of creatives at each event . Which means there is something for everyone’s creative tastes and budget.
