York Anglo-Scandinavian Society (often referred to as YASS) was founded in 1960 and our membership includes both native British and native Scandinavians resident temporarily or permanently in York.

 

The Society offers a full programme of meetings and lively discussions which enable members to share experiences and expand their knowledge of issues such as life, culture and geography of the Scandinavian countries.

​

YASS has had a long association with the Norwegian Study Centre at the University of York and many of our events are held there.

​

Through our affiliation to CoScan (the Confederation of Scandinavian Societies of Great Britain and Ireland) we are in touch with the many other societies who share our aims.

​

We would be delighted to see you as a guest and, of course, if you would like to become a member of the Society we would be only too pleased to have you join us. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
