Events in York From 25th May – 31st May 2026

This week in York offers a varied selection of events from May 24 to May 31, 2026. For a quiet evening, look out for film screenings and stage shows at venues across the city. A stage adaptation of a classic children’s tale is on at York Theatre Royal, while a musical film with live band is at York Barbican. If you're after something more social, there are events for singles and comedy nights at Pocklington Arts Centre. Live music runs across genres, from blues at Milton Rooms to a full concert of classic hits at York Barbican. Workshops and interactive exhibitions are available, including one on climate and breastfeeding at All Saints’ Church Pavement. Families can head to York Theatre Royal for a show or visit a green space. Commuting in York works best using public transport, with First Bus and the railway network covering most areas. Be mindful of congestion near the Railway Station, especially around major events. Flooding risks from the rivers Ouse and Foss can also affect travel.
