2024 Schedule Highlights

2024 Schedule Highlights

  • Cafe Nord @cafenordband

    It all started with a conversation. In a café. Five musicians, five stories, a constellation of inspirations. Hailing from different parts of Poland and the UK, they found each other up North. Cafe Nord was formed in 2021 to create smooth sounds and dreamy stories. Their songs are a mellow concoction of warm vocals, bluesy guitar, dreamy keys and groovy rhythms. Weaved into their enchanting sound are poetic stories of belonging, human connection, complex emotions, and our relationship with nature.

  • Bhutanese Wellbeing Association York

    Our vision is to be a strongly united association with the highest degree of cooperation enriched with love and care for one another for harmonious and comfortable living in the foreign land preserving the national identity (nationally rooted).

  • York Dungeons

    The York Dungeon brings together an amazing cast of theatrical actors, special effects, stages and scenes. Two of the Dungeon’s most lovable characters, The Jester and Smedley, will be bringing excerpts from their Little Peasants City Walking Tour to the stage; expect both laughing and learning, and is suitable for all the family.
