Organised by Make It York, York Residents’ Festival offers a variety of exclusive deals for York residents.

York Residents' Festival returns on Saturday 31st January and Sunday 1st February 2026, where residents will be immersed in a world of unique local delights!

The festival weekend may be over for 2026, but there are many more seasonal and year-round offers to explore, exclusively for York residents.

How do I take part? To get involved, please present a valid York Card, student card or identity card that proves York residency. If presenting an identity card, this must clearly state 'York' (e.g. driving licence or older person's bus pass).

See individual listings for more information, including pre-booking information. Some venues have limited free tickets, and/or operate on a first come first serve basis.
