The Rest Garden at 100

New Digital Exhibition on Bloomberg Connects

The tranquil garden at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall in York is marking its 100th anniversary this year, offering a moment of celebration for visitors and the local community.

To commemorate this milestone, the Hall is launching a free exhibition in the garden this Easter, accessible through the Hall’s digital museum guide on Bloomberg Connects. The exhibition features a fascinating collection of photographs and stories drawn from the Hall’s museum and archives, offering a unique look at the garden’s rich history, its evolution over the years, and its enduring significance as a cherished green space in the heart of York.

The exhibition will be available to all ages from Easter until November and invites you to explore the garden’s history and its role in the wider story of York. Visitors can experience the exhibition at their own pace using the Bloomberg Connects app, and a free children’s activity sheet is also available from the admissions desk when the Hall is open.
