This year’s York Environment Festival (YEFest) has opened its call for events. Following our biggest programme yet in 2024 the annual city-wide festival is back, running from Saturday 27th September – Sunday 2nd November. We’re inviting proposals for a wide range of events celebrating and standing up for the environment.

YEFest is a chance to showcase the brilliant work being done by local environmental groups, campaigners, businesses, universities, schools, arts organisations – and more! All events in the festival will be open and free to attend, offering York residents a chance to get involved and find out more about how they can champion their local environment.
