Tickets are £20 for adults and over 16’s, £10 for under 16’s and those under 10 are FREE with a full paying adult.

As Racecourse Road will be closed to Festival traffic, All vehicular traffic will only be able to drop off and pick up at the 'kidney' island near to Knavesmire Road.

Yorfest will be supporting two charities - St Leonard’s Hospice, and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance in 2016.

As well as the music there will be locally sourced food available, and local real ale, as well as two on-site bars.
