From willow crowns to circus skills, there’s plenty of family fun at St Nicks Autumn Fayre this October, and entry is free! This year’s headline act is Trash Bang Man, otherwise known as former STOMP! performer Billy Hickling. Join him to discover how to make music out of household rubbish, with plenty of chances to get involved and make some noise.

Children can try hula hooping and tightrope walking with Circus Stu, have their faces painted and weave a willow crown. There’ll also be apple pressing, arts and crafts, quizzes and games, alongside community stalls, a pre-loved clothing stand and food and drink.

Date: Saturday 10 October 2026
Time: 1pm to 5pm
Venue: St Nicks Environment Centre and Local Nature Reserve, Rawdon Avenue, York YO10 3FW
