Introducing Here is Hope: Homestead Park Festival

Homestead Park Festival invites the people of York and beyond to come together for a weekend of celebration and reconnection with nature, creativity, and community. Set in the historic surroundings of Homestead Park, this free two-day event is more than a festival - it’s an invitation to imagine and begin building a different future for people and planet.

Over 5-6 July 2025, the festival will create space for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather, play, reflect and connect. Here is hope is curated in partnership between the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Wild Rumpus.
