York is the oldest inland town in WA and is a short 1-hour drive east of Perth – perfect for a day trip or to stay over for a few days. Springtime is an especially lovely time to visit – as the wildflowers and canola fields are in bloom.
Events vary in date and time across the festival. Check The York Festival website for up-to-date details.
