Kings Manor

About the venue

The King's Manor is one of historic York's most attractive and unusual sites and is enjoying a renaissance which is both physical and intellectual.

As home to University of York staff and students, it's buildings and grounds epitomise the sensitive and appropriate use of historic structures. This group of largely Grade I medieval buildings is a vivid evocation of the past. Originally the Abbot's House of St Mary's Abbey, the King's Manor served the Tudors and Stuarts as a seat of government, becoming residences in the 18th century and a school in the 19th. The history of the King's Manor weaves a continuous thread in the history of York since medieval times.
