The park, which runs along the north side of the cathedral, will be filled with knitted, crocheted and cross-stitched animals and plants – from wild flowers and fairies to bugs and woodland creatures.

You can get involved with the event at a series of crafting workshops taking place at the cathedral.

And to help you explore the garden in June, we’ll be creating downloadable maps to guide you from fairy village to ugly bug ball and bunny burrow to wild flower meadow.

The York KnitWits is a York craft community where people who love to knit, crochet and cross-stitch can meet other crafting enthusiasts. The group supports local charities by knitting and crocheting items for those in need and holds yarn storms – where handmade woollen items are used to create street art – throughout the year to entertain York’s residents and visitors.
