York Festival of Ideas
14th — 30th June 2012
York is an incredibly exciting, vibrant and diverse city, rich in heritage, discovery and an overriding sense of curiosity—in short a city where ideas spring to life and flourish.
Planning is well underway for the 2012 Festival which will have a theme of ‘metamorphosis and transformation’.
Our full programme will be released in April 2012.
800 Years of York!
York is celebrating in a big way in 2012. It is 800 years since the city was granted a Royal Charter by King John in 1212, allowing York to take charge of its own affairs by electing a council, creating the post of mayor, and giving a voice to its people. The city wants to get its residents, businesses and visitors involved in the year-long celebration, to understand the city’s unique past, create a sense of belonging in the city of today, and making a step change for the future.
