Your park, our future
Join us for a joyful free weekend of music, creativity, and connection in the beautiful Homestead Park – a space gifted to the people of York over a century ago.
We’re honouring the park’s legacy of generosity and community spirit with the Homestead Park Festival: Here is Hope – reviving the tradition of the much-loved family carnivals once held right here.
Expect a vibrant celebration filled with…
Theatre, stories & playful performances
Creative workshops for all ages
Inspiring talks & campfire conversations
Live music in magical woodland settings
Nature-based activities & hands-on making
Delicious food & picnic spots galore
Joy, imagination, and collective action
...because in uncertain times, play might just be what we need most.
