York - a vibrant festival city with Roman roots and a Viking past, offering an adventure for everyone.

A city where ancient walls surround incredible local businesses, attractions, shops, accommodation and eateries, with exciting events every day and inspiring festivals every month of the year.

Perfectly placed half-way between London and Edinburgh and with the glorious Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Wolds right on the doorstep, York is unlike any other English city. There’s thirty world-class museums you can explore, the best racecourse in the country and a thriving cultural scene.

Enjoy York's Christmas cheer as shops and attractions are beautifully decorated and provide a wonderful winter experience, with an incredible range of festive events! York's award-winning Christmas Market is back from 14th November to 22nd December 2024, bringing festive cheer to the heart of the city.
