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.

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.
