THE Heart of Yorkshire Festival opens this weekend at York Minster with a range of nature inspired activities and workshops in Dean’s Park.
The popular park has been transformed over the last two weeks for the two-month long pop-up festival, which includes an international stone carving festival, open-air cinema and a tipi bar.
Themed around sustainability, the environment and conservation, the events celebrate the completion of the 10-year, £11.5m project to restore the cathedral’s East End and Great East Window.
The Minster’s learning manager Alex O’Donnell, said: “We’re really excited to have the Heart of Yorkshire Festival at York Minster for the very first time.
“This weekend sees the start of a huge range of nature-inspired events, talks, workshops and performances with something to suit every age range and we can’t wait to welcome people over the next eight weeks.”
