Join Christina Henzel, Heritage Engagement Officer at the Trust and project lead for Our Place: Acomb and Westfield, for a guided heritage walk exploring the rich history of Acomb. Follow Acomb’s journey from its village roots to the modern neighbourhoods of today, revealing how local heritage and personal stories intertwine to shape the area’s identity. This walk offers a fresh perspective on a part of York that is often overlooked, highlighting the people, places and events that have defined Acomb over time. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the area through both historical evidence and the voices of those who call it home. 

York Civic Trust runs a varied programme of events for Members throughout the year. Our events are a chance to see York differently, on tours which open doors rarely unlocked and talks which reveal the city’s hidden histories.
