York Open Studios is back for 2026, opening up over 100 venues across the city so families can meet 150 local artists in their homes, studios and shared spaces. Kids can watch live demonstrations, hear artists talk about how they make their work, and maybe even help pick a favourite piece to take home. A lovely way to explore creativity and York itself across two spring weekends.

📍 Various venues across York
🗓 18-19 and 25-26 April, 10am-5pm
