Festival Events

This festival runs on a non-profit model, made possible by the hard work of dedicated volunteers and contributions from international organisations, private donors, and local partners. Every donation helps to ensure this work can continue.

In 2026, your donations will go towards...

-the creation of original performances by actors from Ukraine and artists from York

-Shakespeare workshops for young people across Yorkshire

-university students receiving hands-on work experience in event management and international literature

And so much more!
