Events

York Civic Trust runs a varied programme of events for Members throughout the year. Our events are a chance to see York differently, on tours which open doors rarely unlocked and talks which reveal the city’s hidden histories.

This programme of exclusive walks and talks is put together by York Civic Trust’s Events Group. Run by members and volunteers, they organise events to stimulate and enlighten.

FAQs

Can I book tickets in person?

We will release tickets at the same time online and in-person. If you would prefer to purchase tickets in person, you can do so at Fairfax House’s reception during the museum’s opening hours.

Please be aware that our front of house team might also be busy with museum visitors. You will need to bring along an email address to book events and receive your tickets. Due to their popularity there may be a queue.

Can I join events if I’m not a member?

Yes, from the general release date.
