Cold weather hasn’t stopped the fun in Yorkshire this week – from sledging to simnel cake, there are plenty of seasonal happenings to interest visitors.

International Women’s Day was celebrated with a flurry of events including a flashmob and poetry readings. Here at Yorkshire.com we reflected on the history of the suffrage movement in Yorkshire, which has connections to many of the places and buildings you can still see today.
The cold weather has seen people looking for sledging spots and ways to keep warm – if you’re inside today, why not read up on Yorkshire namesakes or find out how actor Dan Skinner did on our Yorkshire Quiz.
As we head towards the Easter Holidays, why not book a chocolate making workshop, book an Easter Holiday or enter a competition for an simnel cake?
There’s one week left before Mother’s Day, so be sure to book your experiences now, or choose a Yorkshire gift for delivery.
