Exciting Yorkshire 2026
Yorkshire is brimming with excitement in 2026, there’s something for everyone to look forward to, from historic theatre and rural traditions to food, culture, and adrenaline-charged rallies, this year’s calendar is packed, promising a celebration of Yorkshire’s heritage, creativity, and community.

A Theatrical Renaissance:
York Mystery Plays Festival
One of the standout events of 2026 is the York Mystery Plays Festival, returning for its rare four-year cycle. This grand procession of medieval pageant wagons will roll through York on 28 June and 5 July, stopping at historic performance stations around the city. New for this edition: sunset performances on 30 June and 1 July, set against the atmospheric backdrop of Shambles Market.

On top of that, a two-week fringe festival surrounds the main show, offering everything from poetry and sculpture trails to interactive workshops, a fresh, creative layer to an age-old tradition.

Food, Drink & Local Flavour
For lovers of food and drink, Ilkley Food & Drink Festival returns on 13–14 June, bigger and more ambitious than ever. Organisers plan to crank up the food stalls, bars, and market traders, making this year’s event a real celebration of local produce.

Meanwhile, wine and fizz aficionados can enjoy the Great Yorkshire Wine & Fizz Festival on 27 June, hosted by the Yorkshire Vineyard Community at Yorkshire Heart in Nun Monkton. Expect tastings, live music, and a joyful vineyard atmosphere.

And don’t miss Hearty Fest, the much-loved beer & wine festival set in the rolling vines of Yorkshire Heart. In 2026, the three-day gathering promises live music, camping and the region’s finest drinks.

Celebrating Community & Culture
Not all festivals are about music or food, some are about connection. On 3 March, the Yorkshire Hospitality, Tourism & Business Expo returns to Scarborough Spa, bringing together hoteliers, drink producers, attractions, and more in a showcase of the region’s business vitality.

Later in the summer, the Yorkshire Caribbean Family Festival lands on 11 July in Hooton Roberts, Rotherham. It promises reggae, soul, ska, and R&B, a joyous celebration of Caribbean culture in a very Yorkshire setting.

Engines, Stars & Rural Charm
For a dose of nostalgia and rural spectacle, make your way to Scampston Hall in early September for the Yorkshire Traction Engine Rally. Expect steam engines, vintage vehicles, a BMX stunt show, wall-of-death thrills, a reminder of simpler (but certainly noisy) times.

Meanwhile, for a more contemplative experience, look to the skies: the Dark Skies Festival, running from mid-February into March in the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales, offers stargazing events, astronomical workshops, and nighttime nature experiences.

Music & Dance
The region’s music scene stays vibrant in 2026. Mint Festival, one of Yorkshire’s largest dance events, returns in May in Leeds with top DJs, immersive stages, and pulsating beats.

Also in June, Towerfest Country Music Festival takes place in Selby (18–21), bringing a warm country vibe and a lineup that mixes established and up and coming artists.

For folk lovers, the Beverley Folk Festival (19–21 June) continues its tradition of acoustic music, spoken word, and laughter under the summer sky.

Looking Ahead
What ties all these events together is a sense of belonging, to place, to history, and to community. In 2026, Yorkshire doesn’t just host festivals it throws open its arms. Whether you come for the ancient theatre in York, the vine-laced hills of vineyard gatherings, or the roaring steam engines at a country rally, there’s a thread of continuity that links the past with the present. It’s a year to explore, to celebrate, and to feel deeply rooted in the rich soil of Yorkshire’s cultural landscape.

So, mark your diaries. 2026 in Yorkshire promises not just events, but experiences and moments you’ll remember long after the final act.

Top Five Films of 2025.
As a lifelong cinema fanatic, it truly pains me that I cannot see every single film released within the calendar year. With that said, here are my arbitrary top five favourite films of 2025 (UK release dates).
by Liam Hathaway.

One Battle After Another
(dir. Paul Thomas Anderson)
Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnificent tenth film is at once a narratively propulsive action-comedy thriller unlike any of his previous features, whilst also as loose and vibey as many of his classics (BOOGIE NIGHTS, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, LICORICE PIZZA). Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Sean Penn and Regina Hall, this is a monumental film that is deeply concerned with many contemporary issues pertaining to race, war and freedom, and ultimately asks if we can actually leave the world a better place than we found it, and at what cost.
Flow
(dir. Gints Zilbalodis)
Breaker of several box-office records in its home country, where it became the most-viewed film in Latvian cinemas before snatching the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, FLOW was one of the biggest surprises of 2025. The dialogue-free, completely visual story follows a cat in a flooded, dystopian world, which finds refuge on a boat with various other species. Together, they must navigate the challenges of adapting to a new world. Packed with skin-prickling moments of transcendent beauty delivered via innovative animation, FLOW works for all audiences seamlessly. Latvia is so proud of the film that they’ve installed a statue of the cat in Riga.
Weapons
(dir. Zach Gregger)
BARBARIAN, Gregger’s solo directorial debut horror feature, felt a little overhyped to me back in 2022, but it certainly wasn’t without promise. His follow-up, WEAPONS, delivered on that promise tenfold with a film that is full of innovation in both its storytelling and its scares. Told via a multi-perspective narrative à la Robert Altman or Quentin Tarantino, WEAPONS sees an alluring central small-town mystery, in which an entire class of children vanish into the night, being investigated from numerous sides. The grisly and darkly comedic resolution couldn’t be more satisfying.
Presence
(dir. Steven Soderbergh)
If it weren’t for the involvement of Soderbergh, I would have half-expected this experimental supernatural thriller to have played out like POLTERGEIST for the A24 generation. The slight plot – a freshly relocated family senses a supernatural force – harks back to Tobe Hooper’s 1982 horror classic, but Soderbergh’s often experimental approach here evokes the theories of how cinema is linked deeply to voyeurism. Told entirely from the first-person perspective of the eponymous ‘presence,’ we are often left to simply monitor a fraught family drama from beyond the screen, forgetting we are watching something allegedly supernatural. That said, there’s a moment towards the end that turned my blood into liquid nitrogen.
If I Had Legs
I’d Kick You
(dir. Mary Bronstein)
It’s telling that the producers of IF I HAD LEGS are the same that helped make 2019’s ultra-anxiety-ridden crime thriller UNCUT GEMS. The twist here, however, is that it’s told from the perspective of a stressed, overworked mother with an ill child, and she is fast approaching her wits’ end. Starring Rose Byrne (who is rarely off-screen) in a performance that in a just world would at least garner a handful of award nominations, this is at times a tough but rewarding film to sit through, with the chaos mercifully punctuated by moments of pitch-black levity and surreality.

Three more years for Jonny Bairstow
by Jon Howe

Jonny Bairstow has extended his commitment to Yorkshire County Cricket Club to over 25 years with a new three-year contract extension. The 36-year-old first signed for the club as an 11-year-old and was finally made first team captain in 2025, and now he extends a family connection with Yorkshire that has lasted over half a century.
The 2025 season was a mixed one for Yorkshire. Newly promoted to Division One they found their feet in the second half of the season, avoiding relegation and finally finishing seventh. With a hungry young squad, Bairstow and fellow veteran Adam Lyth aside, Yorkshire have promising foundations for the future. There was more disappointment in the T20 competition, however, with Yorkshire finishing second bottom of the North group, but they did reach the Semi-Finals of the one-day Metro Bank Cup competition.
On a personal note, Bairstow scored 735 runs in the county championship, but failed to make a century. He did score a memorable 116 runs off 54 balls in the Roses T20 meeting at Old Trafford, to show he still had the old magic, but will be looking to make more of a consistent contribution with the bat in 2026 and beyond.
Clearly, the history and heritage of Yorkshire is significant to Jonny Bairstow. His father David made his first team debut in 1970, and returning to day-to-day county cricket as captain in 2025 was a proud honour for the Bradford-born wicketkeeper-batsman. Bairstow’s central contract for England duty expired at the end of 2025, more than a year after he last represented his country, and he hasn’t been awarded another one, so Yorkshire is certainly his focus as he leads the white rose county into battle and hoping to win their first county championship title since 2015.
However, the lure of T20 cricket overseas is obvious. Bairstow will be playing white ball cricket in Abu Dhabi and South Africa over the winter, but it is his involvement in the IPL in India which is proving most controversial. Many Yorkshire fans were disgruntled by Bairstow missing a chunk of the 2025 season when he was called up as a late replacement by the Mumbai Indians, and it is certainly possible that he could be selected in the IPL auction again in 2026, and therefore drafted into a competition that doesn’t end until the last week of May.
Nevertheless, with over 100 tests and 12 hundreds for England and as a veteran of two World Cup wins in T20 and 50-over formats, Bairstow’s experience is vital and very welcome to head coach Anthony McGrath, whenever he is available.

The colourful story of Rowland Winn
by Jon Howe

Some people have to be the first to do everything, and Rowland Winn was one of those people. He was a motoring pioneer and enthusiast, but much more than that he was an important figure in introducing the motor car to the city of Leeds, and in many different ways.
Rowland Winn was the third son in a family of nine when he was born in 1871. His father was a successful architect, but Rowland wanted to become an engineer. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and set up a workshop on Cookridge Street repairing bicycles, but soon expanded this to premises behind the Town Hall when he started working on engines of the newly developed motor car.
By 1899 Rowland had overcome suspicion and opposition to the early motor car and had become an authorised dealer for a number of luxury car brands. He carried out various stunts to publicise the motor car, once driving up the Town Hall steps, and he became the first person in Leeds to receive a motoring conviction when he drove “furiously” across Woodhouse Moor in a car. He was driving at 12mph, when the speed limit at the time was 4mph.
In 1903 the Motor Car Act was introduced which meant vehicles had to be registered with a number plate. Rowland was the first person in Leeds to register a private plate, it was ‘U1’ which he later gifted to his friend Arthur Currer Briggs when he became Lord Mayor of Leeds. The U1 number plate has been used for the Lord Mayor’s official car ever since, until November 2025 when Leeds City Council sold it for £750,000 to raise much needed budget funds. It is believed to be one of the highest sums ever received for a private registration plate in the UK.
Rowland was awarded an MBE for his transport expertise in the First World War, but in the USA, Ford introduced the Model T in 1908 which instantly made driving more affordable. Naturally Rowland Winn became the first authorised Ford dealer in Yorkshire, and 100 years ago this month, on January 25th 1926, Rowland met Henry Ford at a trade delegation and was given the affectionate nickname ‘the Yorkshire lad’.
By this time Rowland had a string of huge car showrooms along Woodhouse Lane, where the Merrion Centre now stands, and he later became a councillor and then Lord Mayor himself for one year in 1938. He retired from public life during the 1950s and was awarded the freedom of Leeds in 1956, three years before he died in 1959, aged 88.

tito’s Spotlight on Local Charities
Home Start Wakefield & District.

Every child should have the best start in life.

Home-Start Wakefield & District is a charity offering support, friendship and practical help to parents who have at least one child, from pregnancy up to 12 years old. There is no rule book for raising a family and sometimes parents can find it overwhelming, especially if they are going through a difficult time. By providing support, Home-Start can help to make families’ lives much brighter.
We provide excellent training and support for our volunteers, who are committed and caring people and give a couple of hours a week to support a family. Our volunteers are parents or have childcare experience.
Home-Start also run free family groups across the district, where parents can meet other families whilst their children play, learn, and enjoy a healthy snack in a fun and safe environment.
Our family groups also welcome visitors from other services who provide information about healthy living, weaning, reading and libraries, Family Hubs, social prescribing... as well as special visits from Santa and the Easter Bunny.
We also ran a ‘Cook, Eat, Repeat’ session for some of our families who wanted to improve their understanding of healthy eating and increase their confidence around cooking.
In August, we organised a trip to Bridlington. Feedback about the trip was really positive, parents told us they enjoyed being able to give their children the opportunity to experience the seaside, with the support from the Home-Start team.
We also offer perinatal support from pregnancy up to 2 years. Our Dad Matters Coordinator offers support to dads and their babies. Our Perinatal Support Worker offers mums and carers peer support, a listening ear and help to access groups and services in the community.
Our Dads’ Coordinator also provides support for dads of children age 3 up to 12 years; and we have a children’s behaviour support worker too.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like to find out more about our services, you can contact us by telephone on 01924 251205 or by email at [email protected].

How Henderson’s Relish is still a family business
by Jon Howe

Henderson’s Relish has something of a cult following. The loyalty and passion with which supporters defend and enjoy the famous ‘spicy table sauce’ borders on the fanatical. Don’t call it a type of Worcestershire Sauce – it contains no anchovies and, indeed, is actually vegan - but do enjoy the unique flavour and the proud history which means that after 140 years of production, Henderson’s Relish Limited is still a family business, just not the Henderson family.
Harry Henderson made his first batch of a sweet, dark and vinegar-based condiment in 1885 at his home on Green Lane in Sheffield. He set up a grocer’s store on Broad Lane nearby and sold his new relish from a barrel, inviting customers to fill their own bottles. It was a successful sideline to his shop’s business, but not much more than that. Nevertheless, when Harry retired in 1910, he sold the brand and the business to Shaws of Huddersfield, a pickles and jam makers. Harry Henderson died while on holiday in Skegness in 1930.
George Shaw was convinced of Henderson’s popularity and enlisted his son-in-law Charles Hinkman as manager of a new plant. Under Hinkman’s charge relish sales flourished and they moved to new premises on Leavygreave Road in Broomhall. In 1925 the relish branding changed to the distinctive orange labels with black type so that it would stand out better on the shelves.
Hinkman’s wife died in 1940 and he remarried into the Freeman family, but crucially he bought the Henderson’s business from Shaws and formed an independent company. He retired in 1950 with Henderson’s selling one million bottles per year, but his new wife Gladys Freeman joined forces with her brother Harvey and guided the business through the next 30 years. It was a difficult time in which traditional grocer’s shops were being replaced by supermarket chains with no loyalty to local brands, but the brother and sister duo were able to weather the storm.
Gladys retired in 1982, aged 90, while Harvey died in 1985. Their children took on the business and in 1996 they made a breakthrough when Sainsbury’s became an official partner. Other supermarket chains followed suit and finally Henderson’s intriguing allure was spreading beyond Sheffield. In 2013 they finally had to move to new premises after nearly 130 years in roughly the same area of Sheffield. Today Henderson’s is manufactured at Sheffield Parkway Business Park, along with sidelines in merchandise, clothing, recipe books and crisps, but is still ‘strong and northern’ and still in the Freeman family, with only three of the current family members aware of the secret recipe.

Holme Valley Land Charity donates £350,000 to Civic Hall & Library

Holme Valley Land Charity is a charitable trust established in 2009 to manage and administer former stone quarries in the Holme Valley. The Holme Valley Parish Council is the sole corporate Trustee and the object of the charity is to promote such charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants in the of the parish of Holme Valley as the Trustee thinks fit.
In the last twelve months the members have been considering ways in which the Charity’s reserves can best be put to use. The members have been consulting with the public at the last two Big Community Events together with the input from an advisory group.
Members have agreed that it’s best to support a small number of larger projects so have decided to initially support the extension at Honley Library and the refurbishment of Holmfirth Civic Hall. They are pleased to announce that the Charity has set aside £350,000 from its reserves and will work with the Parish Council to identify specific elements within both projects that need funding. It’s possible that further reserves may be available for other projects in the future and the Trustee will keep this under review.
