Charity Raffle
Once again we will be running a daily raffle, the proceeds from which will be shared 50/50 between CAMRA and our local charity partner, York Rescue Boat. Last year we raised a fantastic total of £3,810, hopefully we can surpass that in 2026!
Two raffle draws will be held each day at 16:30 (selling closes at 16:00) and at 19:30 (selling will close at 19:00), except on Wednesday when there will be one draw at 19:30 (selling will close at 19:00). Non-winning tickets from the 16:30 draw will also be included in 19:30 draw. Tickets are priced at £2 each.
Please remember, there is no advance selling of raffle tickets, so if you would like to win one of the prizes on offer, you can only have a chance if you buy a ticket at the festival on the day! There will be plenty of points of sale for the raffle tickets around the site,
Winners will be contacted, and winning numbers will be listed on the Festival website. Good Luck to all!

York Rescue Boat
York Rescue Boat is an independent search and rescue charity based in York. Established in 2014 following a tragic series of river-related deaths in the city, it has evolved into a highly trained and respected team, known for its life-saving work both locally and across the country. The primary focus of their volunteers is on the Rivers Ouse and Foss in York, but they are also part of the national flood response network. The rescue boats are fitted with advanced technology and essential equipment necessary for effective search and rescue operations, including thermal imaging cameras, powerful searchlights, flotation aids, and comprehensive medical kits. The charity also visits schools, community groups and universities to educate about water safety and the dangers of open water. York Rescue Boat has saved 46 lives and attended over 1000 incidents since its inception.
