Happy Hexies
Saturday 10th October 2026
10am to 3.30pm
South Bank Studios, York
Put a contemporary twist on the traditional technique of patchwork with hexagons. You will make a beautiful scroll or a wall hanging using a range of fabrics provided by Jo, or if you prefer, you can bring some of your own fabrics which hold particular meaning for you.
Jo finds stitching hexagons calming and relaxing - and a little bit addictive. If you’d like to press pause on a busy life and make time just for you, then a stitching workshop is the answer.
This workshop is suitable for all abilities. All materials are provided, plus tea, coffee, and biscuits. The cost is £60. To book a place, email joyeatescreates@gmail.com
The Gunpowder Plot: After Hours
Tuesday 3 November 2026
The Bar Convent
Join us for an evening to remember, remember as you uncover the real history behind Bonfire Night.
Experience the Bar Convent after-hours, where you will gather by candlelight in the hidden chapel and come face-to-face with York’s most infamous son. Discover the man behind the barrels as Guy Fawkes awaits his fate in the final hour before his execution.
The evening continues in the exhibition with a unique historic retelling of one of the most dramatic events in British history. Set against the turbulent backdrop of post- reformation York, explore the context, conspiracy and consequences of the event surrounding 5th November 1605.
Through rare objects, brand-new interpretation and human storytelling, the exhibition reveals how the plot echoed across the country, left its mark on York, and shaped the lives of the courageous women who founded this remarkable house in its wake.
£22pp, alcoholic or soft drink included. In partnership with The York Dungeon. Please arrive at 6pm for a short performance at 6:15pm.
