You can immerse yourself in the world of a great artist for free this weekend.

The stunning Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a late addition to the York Residents Festival line-up.

Located at York St Mary’s in Coppergate, the installation’s stay in the city was recently extended to 19 April.

Visitors with proof of York residency will be able to explore the attraction free of charge from 4pm-5pm on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 January, with high demand expected for places in the unique experience.

“We were due to close on 5 January, but announced our extension until 19 April just before Christmas, so we are a late addition to the Residents Festival programme, but we hope that plenty of people will join us for the late afternoon sessions,” said exhibition manager, Evie Blackstock.
