York Festival of Ideas is a cultural festival in York which runs for two weeks every year in June. Launched in 2011 as a partnership between the University of York and major cultural organisations in the city including York Theatre Royal, York Museums Trust, the National Centre for Early Music and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, it has since expanded to incorporate many more organisations not only from around the city but also from across the UK.

It is one of the largest free festivals of its kind in the UK, and is made possible by the generosity of a range of supporters and donors.

Every year the festival offers speakers, exhibitions, performances, guided tours and family-friendly activities, with topics ranging from history to politics to psychology and many more.

In 2024, the Festival delivered 251 events to a local and worldwide audience of over 58,000, working in collaboration with 178 local, national and international partners and supporters.
