York Events
S
teeped in a history that makes York a truly unique city you'll never need an excuse to visit, however throw in all the events that are on offer in York and you'll want to call it home!
One of the finest annual events to grace York is the Ebor Festival held at York Racecourse. Over the course of four days, over 80,000 people will watch some of the finest horse racing in the world! Aside from this flagship event, there are often over 14 meetings at the course every year so there are always opportunities to have a small flutter and get dressed up to the nines.
An annual event that encapsulates the heart and soul of York is the York Food and Drink Festival at Newgate Market. With 10 days full of activities, you are sure to find something to suit your taste! If you like the markets and demonstrations, there are over 100 stands and a rolling programme of demos on a daily basis as well as much, much more.
York is often referred to as the most haunted city in the UK and if you join one of the many ghost walks that take place every evening where you'll snake through the hidden alleyways learning about the horrors days gone by. Often delivered with a mix of humour, bravado yet still overtly sinister, taking a ghost walk through York city centre is always an eventful occasion.
York Events take place throughout the year and there is always something for every taste so check out our events listing page to find out what's on, if you're staying in one of the many fantastic York Hotels!
