Yorkshire Day celebration at Oakwell Hall

About the event

Our Yorkshire Day celebration is returning to Oakwell Hall in 2026, bigger, better, and as popular as ever!

Join us for a free, fun filled, family friendly celebration of everything that makes our corner of Yorkshire wonderful. Expect live music, a bustling Yorkshire makers market, children’s activities and workshops, fantastic local food and drink, and plenty more throughout the day.

We are inviting residents and visitors to Oakwell Hall & Country Park on Sunday 2 August 2026 for a major celebration of all things Yorkshire. This free, family-friendly festival offers a full day of music, food, creativity and community pride in the stunning historic parkland.

This year’s event will be the greenest yet, supported by a free shuttle bus from Birstall, off site recycling, reduced printed materials, green energy, and expanded bike parking to encourage sustainable travel. Sustainability also shapes the wide range of workshops and activities.

Running 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the popular annual celebration features a packed programme for all ages, set against the backdrop of the much-loved Grade I listed Elizabethan manor and gardens.
