Study Tour 2026: York *FULLY BOOKED*

Sunday 19 - Wednesday 22 April 2026

Our 2026 Study Tour will explore stained glass to be seen in and around the city of York on foot, as well as in the East Riding of Yorkshire, with a rare opportunity to be guided by resident experts. Whilst the medieval treasures of York Minster and the city’s parish churches are renowned, this visit will provide an opportunity to visit recently conserved windows at All Saints, North Street, York Minster, and St Denys, amongst many others. We will also visit the new Centre of Excellence for Heritage Craft Skills opened in 2025 and two leading studios for the conservation of historic and creation of new stained glass.

Bookings are now open, with deposits due by 27 December 2025. There are very limited places remaining. Please download a booking form below and return it by email to events@stainedglassmuseum.com or by post
