This special weekend marks the start of a cosier SPARK with a roof overhead. Expect food, music, crafts, and a new look from York’s best independents.
Join us for a weekend of music, food, markets, workshops, and family sessions at SPARK. You can expect a silent DJ set, crafting with our friends at Queer Affaire, temporary tattoos, custom illustrations, free photos, and tasting sessions with local breweries as part of Maltfest!
🎟️ Tickets: Entry is free at our venue and you don’t need tickets for our re-opening weekend. The baby and children’s craft sessions are ticketed online for free, and Maltfest tickets can be purchased via the Maltfest page.
