York Lesbian Collective presents York’s first lesbian pub night…For one night only, we’re transforming The Crescent into a buzzing beer hall — a welcoming, vibrant space for York’s WLW community to come together.

Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth, and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music.
Touring Europe with Mogwai, before embarking on a new chapter with the release of her fourth album, WE WERE MADE PREY (Rock Action Records).
Recorded in the remote Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis, the album explores the collision of want and loss, self-fulfillment and shame, embracing a newfound intensity—bigger, angrier, and full of want.

“The best showcase of pure joke-writing skill” (Guardian). Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Glenn Moore has written too many jokes again. Expect a fast-paced whirlwind of punchlines from one of the greatest joke-writers of his generation.

A small but excellently stocked fair with the bar open!

For our next edition of Irie Vibes we welcome the return of UNDERGROUND ROOTS SOUND SYSTEM for a 2 scoop meet in peace.

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as Justin returns with “The Greatest Performance of My Life”.
The story covers subjects ranging from pantomimes to dreams, how to behave in hospitals, small talk, realising his Mum is a northern version of Columbo, and how being a smart-mouthed kid saved him from a life of continually being beaten up.

Come and join us in welcoming the latest edition of the York Literary Review to your bookshelves!
Live readings and conversations with members of this year’s publishing team will take place.
Along with the chance to hear from our generous sponsors who helped make this launch a reality.
