Christmas Tree Festival

Scroll to explore

Experience York Minster’s popular Christmas Tree Festival, set inside the medieval Minster, with 100 trees on display in the cathedral’s stunning Nave, North Transept, Chapter House and Lady Chapel.

Explore the trees, which will be decorated to individual themes by local businesses, schools and charities, and add your own Christmas message to a tag on the festival’s prayer trees.

The festival will open on Saturday 28 November at 10am with a light switch-on at ‘Minster Mash-Up’, York Minster’s special service for children and families.

The festival will run during general admission times until Tuesday 5 January. Entry is free with a sightseeing ticket.

Please note, the trees may feature flashing lights.
