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.

Brave Halloween in York and celebrate the spookiest time of the year in the ‘most haunted city in Europe’! Tricks and treats await - including ghost tours, themed food and drinks, and frightening attractions.
