Welcome to YORK Spring is here, and there’s no better place to enjoy the blossoming of the season than York. Let us plan your perfect day for you.

Start by heading to one of the city’s parks – a delightful place for children to play – or take a walk around the walls and enjoy the excellent views of York’s streets.

After working up an appetite outdoors, head to one of the many superb cafes or restaurants for a bite to eat while you plan the rest of your stay. We guarantee that you won’t want to go home.

We all know that the Great British weather isn’t always something to be relied upon, but that’s not a problem here in York. We’ve got plenty of indoor attractions that will provide more than just a shelter from the rain.

York Dungeon has recently re-opened after a fantastic refurbishment, and Jorvik Viking Centre, the home of the city’s Viking heritage, is always worth a visit. If you’re into something a little more refined, we’ve got cultural interest in spades, with plenty of art, museums and theatre to keep you entertained. And of course, York offers historical stories in abundance.

In fact, there’s too much going on in York to mention it all here. Check out our events section to tailor your perfect stay – there’s bound to be more than enough to interest you. You might as well book your next stay now…

Whatever you decide to do, enjoy!

Until next month!

Film guide Star Trek Into Darkness. We hope that you live long and prosper – certainly long enough to catch the sequel to the rebooted Star Trek franchise. J J Abrams, the man that brought us TV’s Lost, returns to the helm (or should we say captain’s chair) to bring us another tale of Kirk, Spock and the USS Enterprise. This time we’re given a baddy played by posho Benedict Cumberbatch, and are promised a much darker story – as the title suggests. But judging by the trailer they might as well have called it Star Trek Things Will Blow Up.

The Great Gatsby.

Based on the book by F. Scot Fitzgerald – considered one of the great literary works of the 20th century – The Great Gatsby has been given the remake once-over

by Baz Luhrman. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan, the films follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. The trailer looks swish and stylish, as you might expect from the director of Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet.

Epic. In this 3D animated film, a young girl is magically shrunk down to the size of an insect and encounters a race of warrior-like forest dwellers. As you do. A few big names prop up the film by lending their vocal talents, including Colin 24

Farrell, Christoph Waltz, Steven Tyler and Beyoncé Knowles. Epic, based on William Joyce’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, should be a great film for kids to enjoy, be they six or 60.

The Big Wedding.

We remember the days when having Robert De Niro in a film guaranteed action, tough talking and wise guys popping caps. These days the De Niro seal of approval is given only to rom-coms. This American remake of the original 2006 French film Mon frère se marie, sees a long-divorced couple pretend to still be together for the sake of family wedding. De Niro and Diane Keaton are the afore mentioned estranged couple, with the ranks of their clueless family being made up

by Katherine Heigl, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams as a priest.

The Hangover 3.

Normally when a film spawns a second sequel, it is not always a

great indicator of brilliance but rather one of ‘cash-in-abilty’ (that is a word, promise). However, 2009’s The Hangover (and of course, its follow-up) was so funny, we don’t begrudge another dipping of the toe into these comedy waters. Back once again are Bradley Cooper and Zack Galifianakis as friends who constantly keep finding themselves in often awkward situations as a result of over indulgence booze-wise. This time Alan, played by the bearded Galifianakis, finds himself in a mental hospital and requires rescuing by his friends. Cheers!
