Bedern Hall Summer Programme: Art Exhibitions and Live Music in York
Historic Bedern Hall is preparing for a vibrant summer season, combining contemporary visual arts with intimate live performances. Located in the heart of the city, the medieval hall built for York Minster's Vicars Choral will host a major art exhibition alongside its ongoing cultural events.
Visitors exploring the historic architecture and restored interior can look forward to a diverse line-up of creative experiences that bridge centuries of heritage with modern artistic expression.
Experiencing 'The Flood' Art Exhibition in York
From June 20 to July 3, Bedern Hall will host a special art exhibition presented in association with the York Mystery Plays Festival, centred around the evocative theme of "The Flood".
The showcase features a broad spectrum of artistic media, blending experimental and contemporary works with traditional interpretations. Artists have responded imaginatively to the prompt, offering a thought-provoking display inside one of York's most atmospheric medieval spaces.
The exhibition is integrated into the venue's regular schedule. Alongside the artwork, the hall maintains its standard Wednesday to Friday opening pattern, welcoming guests for tours, refreshments, and afternoon teas while keeping all pre-booked events running smoothly.
Live Music and the Bedern Sessions
Following the conclusion of the art exhibition, the venue's cultural calendar continues with the return of the Bedern Sessions live music series.
Designed to bring talented performers into an intimate heritage setting, the upcoming summer concerts are scheduled for July 17 and August 21. These evenings offer audiences a chance to experience live acoustic and musical performances within the unique acoustics and historic surroundings of the hall.
