Widely regarding as one of the best destinations in the
country – York really comes alive at Christmas.

Few cities rival the historic splendour of York and it is no
wonder that it is one of our top selling destinations. Steeped in history
spanning 2000 years, York is a compact walled riverside city home to
world-class attractions. We stay within the medieval city walls allowing you
time to explore the historic centre and its many attractions and cobbled
streets. The city’s medieval centre adds an authenticity to the Dickensian
vision of Christmas celebrations so come along and soak up the atmosphere.
Meander through the market stalls of St Nicolas Fair with traditional chalets
adorned with twinkling lights and selling all kinds of artisan gifts for the
festive season. York is foody heaven, so follow the aromas of mulled wine and delicious
tempting treats with a huge variety on offer. Full details of all the events
will come out online later in the year.


DAY 1
After being collected from your local pick up point (approx 7.30/8.000am)
we have comfort stops on route before arriving at the hotel late afternoon.
Settle in to the hotel before your 3 course evening meal followed by tea or
coffee.


DAYS 2 & 3
On your first morning we are joined by our local guide for a
short walking tour of York city centre to learn about the remarkable history.
It’s a great way to get your bearings and flag attractions you may want to
return to later. The remainder of your time is free to explore, and there is
much to see! Don’t miss The Shambles, perhaps the most picturesque street in
England complete with overhanging timber-framed houses and traditional
shopfronts. York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe is
also on the must do list plus there is the excellent Jorvik Viking Centre and
National Railway Museum. After dinner in the hotel, walk over the bridge in to the
city centre and enjoy all the festivities. 


DAY 4
After breakfast we leave York and head home. Comfort stops
taken on route before returning to the local area around 4.00/5.00pm.
