York’s 50+ Festival

York’s 50+ Festival returns for two weeks of talks, performances, activities and opportunities to get together across the city.

Dedicated to York’s over-50s, the festival brings together a varied programme of free and affordable events designed to inspire, entertain and encourage new connections. It also celebrates the creativity, experiences and contributions of older people while helping to challenge attitudes around ageing.

Whether you fancy trying something new, meeting people or simply enjoying a day out, there’s plenty to discover with friends and family throughout the festival.
