Festive Fun in York
There's something for everyone in York this Christmas. Discover family friendly activities like Santa sightings, or enjoy a luxury Christmas dinner at one of York's finest eateries. There are a number of traditional services, theatre shows, and choir performances. Don't forget to be part of the merriments at one of the city’s pantomimes across December and January!
This year, the hugely popular York Christmas Market will return to York. The charming alpine chalets will once again line the streets from November to December, with local businesses selling everything from handmade gifts to delicious treats. Browse treats from local Yorkshire traders, and enjoy the festive atmosphere right in the heart of the city.
