A rare chance for York Residents to see Fairfax House for free.

As part of York Residents' Festival, Fairfax House is opening its doors and giving away 200 free tickets to York residents between the 31st Jan - 1st Feb.

Once the elegant townhouse of Ann Fairfax and her father, Viscount Fairfax, Fairfax House boasts richly decorated interiors and exceptional stucco ceilings, standing today as a masterpiece of Georgian design and architecture. With no ropes or barriers, our rooms invite you to step directly into the past and experience the collections at close quarters, as its original inhabitants would have done.

Opening times:

Saturday: 10-5 (last admission 4.15pm)

Sunday: 11-4 (last admission 3.15pm)

You'll need to bring proof of address or a York student card to be admitted.
