We’re excited to share that StavesArt will be at the Ilkley Food Festival on 13–14 June, bringing our full collection of hand‑drawn city, stadium, and fantasy artwork to one of Yorkshire’s most loved summer events.

Father’s Day arrives on Sunday 21 June 2026, and with it comes the annual challenge: finding a gift that feels meaningful, personal, and genuinely appreciated. Socks and aftershave have had their day. This year, give Dad something that reflects who he is, where he’s been, and the places that shaped him.

Just to let you know that StavesArt will be trading at the iconic Shambles Market in York on Friday 5th June and Saturday 6th June. The Shambles Market is our regular stall and we love to meet both locals and tourists as they spend time in York.  Set in the heart of the city’s historic centre, the market is one of Yorkshire’s most vibrant spots for independent makers, food traders, and local creatives.

There’s a special kind of magic in the air when festival season arrives in the UK. The days grow longer, the sunshine feels a little warmer, and cities and parks across the country begin to buzz with music, food, art, and community spirit. From vibrant street‑food gatherings to world‑class music weekends, June marks the moment the UK truly comes alive.

June arrives with a burst of colour, energy, and celebration as Pride Month begins — a time dedicated to honouring LGBTQ+ communities, their history, their resilience, and their joy. Across the UK and around the world, cities transform into vibrant hubs of parades, performances, and shared stories. Pride is about visibility, acceptance, and the power of people coming together.
