Homestead Park Festival invites the people of York to come together for a FREE weekend of celebration and reconnection with nature, creativity, and community. Set in the historic Homestead Park, the festival will take place over the first weekend of July, bringing artists, musicians, and changemakers to the park to inspire, create, and seed the start of a new way forwards for JRFs work in York. 

Can hope offer a more powerful response to environmental crises than fear? This free, in-person workshop brings together academics, artists, educators and performers to explore how creative, hopeful storytelling can inspire action and resilience in the face of climate change.

Over two days, participants will take part in hands-on sessions using visual arts, performance, writing and interdisciplinary dialogue to reimagine how we communicate environmental research and engage communities. Lunch is provided, and attendance is required on both days.

How can people's enjoyment of the waterscapes of York be enhanced? How can flooding and other aquatic issues be better understood and communicated?

Come along and tell the team from the York Waterscapes project at this interactive event examining the past, present and future of water in the city.

Please meet outside the Reading Café.

This event is hosted by the York Waterscapes Working Group (York Climate Commission).
