Because The Yorkshire Society is a membership organisation – for people who love Yorkshire – we like to bring the people of Yorkshire together, figuratively and literally.
Figuratively, by giving our members and the people of Yorkshire a collective voice. Literally, by creating occasions and events that encourage our members, and the people of Yorkshire, to get together for business and pleasure.
WAVING THE YORKSHIRE FLAG
AND BLOWING YORKSHIRE’S TRUMPET
As we all know Yorkshire has a lot to shout about, and with characteristic pride, we like to make sure it’s shouted loud and clear.
We add to that noise by organising marquee events and initiatives worthy of the Yorkshire name and big enough to represent or benefit the whole region.
THE YORKSHIRE FESTIVAL
A celebration of Yorkshireness that brings together produce, entertainment, heritage and culture for the people of Yorkshire to enjoy.
YORKSHIRE DAY
The official civic celebration on August 1st of Yorkshire’s ‘national’ day provides a suitable centrepiece for the region’s celebrations.
YORKSHIRE AWARDS

HERITAGE GUARDIANS
