The city comes alive during Christmas! Popular markets, lively events and inspiring concerts. A stroll through York at Christmas is a magical experience! 

York is not only a popular visitor destination, but also a great place to live!

All you have to do is present your valid York card. To get one contact your local library!

The Jorvik Viking Festival is just around the corner so get ready to face the Vikings  as they descend on the city and demonstrate battle-drills and training routines.  York also boasts a superb range of museums and galleries offering a fantastic range of permanent and visiting exhibitions meaning there is always something new to see.
