Available to York residents only - see details of York Residents' Festival

For York Residents Weekend 2026, come learn about the most famous and interesting past parishioners of Holy Trinity Goodramgate while enjoying sights, sounds and smells that would have been familiar to them. Our volunteers will be delivering tours at 11.30 and 14.00 across both days of the weekend. Hobnob with George Hudson (disgraced former Mayor and Railway King), dally with Rev Dallin (the vicar during Anne Lister and Ann Walker’s visit in 1834), feel at home with the de Holmes or de Howoms (the wealthy sponsors of the St James’ Chapel) and more. Tours are free. Group sizes will be capped at 15 max for each tour. No need to book. Simply request on arrival.

Free copies of our Guidebook will also be available across Residents Weekend (including a volunteer application form and details of our volunteer roles).
