About
Two days of free music and family entertainment alongside Ilkley’s biggest Yorkshire market will celebrate Yorkshire Day 2026 in Ilkley.
The weekend of festivities on the 1st and 2nd August is being organised by three volunteers following the huge success of Yorkshire Day 2025 which saw Ilkley co-host the region’s official civic celebration with Bradford, attracting thousands of visitors and earning a national award.
The Grove will be closed for both days and the entertainment line-up has been co-ordinated by Ilkley Live, showcasing 30 acts on the main stage on Saturday 1st August with the bandstand in full swing with choirs and musicians throughout the weekend.
Further food, drink and shopping interest will be provided by more than 60 Yorkshire traders co-ordinated and curated by Lucy Allen of Real Markets on Saturday, followed by a further market on Sunday. Additional cultural family activities will be provided by the Manor House Museum across the weekend alongside the newly introduced children’s area at Canker Wells on The Grove.
