About

Celebrate Christmas Around the World with the York Nutcracker Trail.

Brought to you by York BID and York-based artist MarcoLooks, the Nutcracker Trail brings 10 beautiful Nutcracker sculptures to life, each representing a different country that reflects York's diverse, vibrant communities.

Pick up a map from the Visitor Information Centre on Parliament Street to get started. Use the clues on each Nutcracker to match it to the correct country and submit your entry to the Visitor Information Centre or Santa's Post Box in Museum Gardens for the chance to win a £250 York Gift Card!
