From live broadcasts on BBC Radio York to the final ribbon-cutting ceremony, YorKAOS 2026 proved that creativity has no age limit. Thank you to all the artists, families, workshop hosts, volunteers, speakers, friends, SPARK, Explore York, Hiscox, and our grant funders Elmet Lions and York Rotary — who helped make this year’s “chaos” such a resounding success.
