The Civic Trust’s vision is ‘promoting heritage, shaping tomorrow’.

York is a city built on a multi-layered past with an exciting and optimistic future. The challenges it faces today are shared with cities across the world – climate change, population growth, housing, transport and economic expansion.

York Civic Trust runs a programme of activities for members and the public that explore both the past and the future of the city. Our museum at Fairfax House is an immersive exploration of 18th century life.

Come and join us – influence the future of York and enjoy the city’s diverse heritage.
