Make It York supports permanent and temporary markets, festivals, and delivers, attracts and facilitates world-class cultural and creative events that expand and positively enhance perceptions of York.

This includes, as examples, York’s status as a host city for the Rugby League World Cup and the expansion of our renowned York Ice Trail to become one of the UK’s largest outdoor events.

We also champion and support a range of independent festivals through our cultural work, such as York Mediale, Aesthetica Art Prize, York Festival of ideas, York Design Week and the York Early Music Festival, to name just a few flagship city events.
