Now it is your chance to relive history in the shoes of Guy Fawkes and enjoy a unique experience by staying in the alleged birthplace of the notorious Guido Fawkes conspiracy plotter aka Guy Fawkes.
Our fabulous four poster room had bags of character including the most amazing four poster bed and 3 large windows with the most wonderful views of the majestic York Minster cathedral.
The Guy Fawkes medieval Inn is located within a prime spot adjacent to the York Mister Cathedral in York city centre and the views from our room – just breath-taking and the ideal photo opportunity.
Our room had all the modern conveniences including a flat screen television and tea tray with biscuits.
A gorgeous Grade I listed building, a Georgian townhouse steeped in charm and history, whereby the building’s origins date back to 1710 when it was built as a private residence.
Eventually, after the passing of the owner, the building became the residence of judges attending the Assize court sessions and remained so until around 1976.
This stunning residence has a restaurant, two bars, along with some quirky fixtures and fittings providing some super special character rooms.
Feature rooms at the Judge’s Lodging always have that extra character and detail.
Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some fabulous food and drinks, as you unwind.
The décor is rustic and relaxed creating a beautiful and gorgeous setting for lunch or dinner.
Christmas in full swing, we loved the festive vibes and the charming Christmas tree.
Equally impressive was the staff knowledge of allergens, without faff or fuss, providing both useful advice and alternatives which made our visit super smooth.
The Hilt York offer an immersive, exciting and entertaining experience right in the heart of York city centre.
Right from the offset, the welcome, quality set up and authentic interiors provide a relaxed and realistic setting to conquer the Axe throwing challenge.
Yes, there was a safety briefing, but delivered with flair and finesse, so to keep you alert and on focus.
We loved every minute of our session, fun, informative and what’s not to like about hurling an axe threw the air at a target right?! There are even trick shots to be learnt, my personal fav the Gun Slinger – Pow!
Their beautiful bespoke city centre York location is the perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy some you time.
Fixtures and fittings have been carefully thought out mixing the traditional and contemporary to create a warm and welcoming hub.
Get cosy and snug and craft your very own chocolate lollipops, perfect to gift or enjoy for yourself.
The bonus about being independent is their ability to tailor make options especially when it comes to dietary requirements. Not only were dietaries such as no milk, no egg etc not a problem, but the way Michelle reassured myself before the visit put my mind at ease.
Now it is your turn to enjoy some of this fabulous friendly fun and folly with a trip to see the Sleeping Beauty Pantomime showing until the 25th of January 2020.
The theatre renovations tastefully and sympathetically combine the traditional and contemporary which sets the tone for your visit. Grab your panto souvenir brochure and prepare to be spellbound.
The award-winning Sleeping Beauty Panto at York Theatre Royal is a family crowd pleaser.
The Panto stars, Martin Barrass as the Queen, Suzy Cooper as Beauty, A.J Powell as Darth Diva and David Leonard as the wicked Evil Diva along with much more talent besides.
This year the cast even had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Gabriella who designed the programme cover for the 2019 Panto and I am sure that you will agree Gabriella has done a fabulous job.
Hi oh Hi ho it’s time for panto you know with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Starring Mark Little aka best baddie in Yorkshire, ‘Allo ‘Allo legend Vicki Michelle playing the Evil Queen and man of comedy and magic Martin Daniels, as Muddles. Along, with a man that needs no introduction; York’s town Crier.
