14-30th June 2012
York is an incredibly exciting, vibrant and diverse city, rich in heritage, discovery and an overriding sense of curiosity—in short a city where ideas spring to life and flourish.
Planning is well underway for the 2012 Festival which will have a theme of ‘metamorphosis and transformation’.
The full programme will be released in March 2012.
