Few places in Britain seem to exude Christmassy moments in the way that York does. Surrounded by history that stretches back to the first century AD, York’s narrow cobbled streets, medieval buildings and towering Minster naturally lend themselves to Christmas-card cosiness.
If you’re looking for a festive break over the Season of Goodwill, then it’s worth adding a trip to York to your Christmas list. Not only is its streets lined with exclusive shops, quality high-street stores, great restaurants, café bars, pubs and attractions but the city celebrates Christmas in style with a range of seasonal events, markets and festivities.
York is such a magical place they can even guarantee snow at Christmas... the Festival of Angels is an undoubted highlight of the Yuletide season and is in its eighth year of delighting both adults and children.
Christmas Markets
Each year the vibrant streets of The Quarter are transformed into a winter wonderland with beautiful ice sculptures, Father Christmas and street entertainers, all covered in a light dusting of snow falling from above. There are food and drink stalls where you can enjoy a hot chocolate or mince pie whilst marvelling at the sparkling ice angels.
The entire community of The Quarter get involved in this free festival, an area of the city that is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with winding streets, chic bars and great independent shops.
A favourite with York visitors and residents alike, we visit the weekend long festival on the Saturday. A magical day that no one should miss!
