About York Museum Gardens

Nestled in the heart of York beside the River Ouse, York Museum Gardens originated in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. The gardens, also home to the Yorkshire Museum, have become a cherished spot for both residents and tourists alike.

The Spotlight on Shed Seven

Formed in York in the early 90s, Shed Seven gained prominence during the Britpop era. With a collection of 15 Top 40 singles and four Top 10 albums, they remain one of the UK’s premier live acts. Their new album, ‘A Matter of Time’, releases on 12th January 2024.

Event Organisers Speak

“I have been heavily involved in the York music scene for 20 years and it has always been an ambition of mine to bring a live music event of this scale to the middle of the city with residents at the heart of it. The fact that we can start the event with the biggest band to come out of York makes it all the more special,” said Rachel Hill, Project Manager at Futuresound.

Richard Saward, Head of Visitor Experience and Commercial, states, “We are excited that Futuresound will be bringing these brilliant shows to Museum Gardens.
