If you haven't heard about Acomb Fest yet then what rock have you been hiding under!!
The fabulous folk at Art of Protest Projects have been extremely busy putting together a huge art festival for Acomb alongside several venues, businesses and key people from the area.
This is one definitely not to miss. Acomb will transformed into one huge art paradise and when I say art, it is not all paintbrushes and watercolours 🤣
The festival will see several buildings used as canvas to create stunning permanent visuals, beers gardens for paint jams and plenty of live music, food, demonstrations, businesses and more.
The best bit is that it is free!! Yes there are a few bookable activities and events but this is open to all.
So whether you love Holgate Windmill or beer at the Crooked Tap, there is something going on across dozens of venues.
Simply visit http://acombfest.co.uk/programme and you can see for yourself what difficult decisions you will need to make (akin to Glastonbury) where two things are happening at once!!!
York's premier art event, July 3-5, 2026. Experience 5 murals, 20 art installations, live music, workshops, and food & drink events across 20 venues in Acomb, York.
