Welcome to York's official Yuletide website dedicated to Christmas shopping, Winter markets, evening festivities including York Minster services, Carol concerts, the Christmas Early Music Festival, St Nicholas Fayre and the Festival of Angels.
What's York like at Christmas time?
Few places in Britain seem to exude Christmassy moments in the way the 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.
Christmas Markets
Over the yuletide period, the city’s central square becomes animated with a range of specialist markets. Look at our 'Christmas Markets' pages for the full programme and also at the 'St Nicholas Fayre' section for more detail on our most famous annual Christmas market.
Christmas Shopping
As well as these specialist markets, York not only boasts a range of high street names but its streets are also lined with unique shops, including its very own Christmas shop, making it so easy to find that special something for every special someone. A selection can be found on our 'Christmas shopping' pages.
Evening Festivities
And after a hard day’s shopping, whether you want to party the night away, go to a carol concert or panto, indulge in some culture, or just rest your weary feet and chill out at one of York’s restaurants or bars, York will have something for you.
