York Minster’s new schools’ learning programme for 2024 👇 yorkminster.org/latest/york-mi…
To celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show this week, we bring you the Gardner Chasuble, dated to c. 1700-50. It was given to York Minster by the British diarist Faith Gray who improved education for poor girls in York. What objects do you have that feature flowers? 🏵️🌼
Happy International Museum Day🏛️ Come visit the Undercroft where you can follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, discover the Minster's Viking connection and see archaeology over centuries. A treasure not to be missed includes the Horn of Ulf! What are your favourite objects?
Are you watching the Eurovision Song Contest tonight? In celebration of music, we take a look at the rare music manuscript "Zadok the Priest" that survived our 1829 fire. Show us your sweet melodies 🎶
For International Day for Monuments and Sites, we welcome you to come to the Minster to see our 267 monuments! Here is an impressive Grinling Gibbons one commemorating Archbishop Dolben in the South Quire Aisle. How sweet are the cherubs?👼
We're having lots of fun in our Chapter House with Toolbox Drama CIC. We're making a soundscape as part of our Autism Acceptance Week events. #AutismAcceptanceWeek #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwarenessWeek
For World Autism Acceptance Week, we are hosting exciting events to create a ‘Mindful Minster.’ This piece of art work has been created at the Hands Together art workshop and there are plenty more storytelling, dance, drama, singing and mindfulness sessions to come🌈

Today marks 194 years since Jonathan Martin deliberately started a fire in York Minster. Read on to discover more about the event in 1829 which led to £3,000,000 of damage 👇(1/10)
It's #HeritageTreasures Day and we're celebrating the Great East Window! Support from @HeritageFundUK ensured that the Great East Window is safe for generations! #Didyouknow it's the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in Britain? Celebrate with us and tag us in your pics!
@GriffithStephen @York_Minster We certainly hope so!
For #Woodensday, we are sharing … A shortbread mould! One of the more curious items in the @York_Minster collection, this foliated mould dates from the late 17th or early 18th Century and reads ‘May the Bountiful Lord bless this our bread at Table’. Who fancies a snack?🙋
