Hello August! And just like that... August is upon us. We're hoping to squeeze in as much as we can this month before the autumn term eventually hits. Feeling the same? Well, if you’re visiting the city for the first time or you fancy being a tourist on home turf, why not get yourself to the Jorvik Viking Centre to get a dose of York history!? Maybe you’re an ABBA fan (if you’re not…you’re lying!) and you’re ready and raring for the ABBA Symphonic concert at Castle Howard. Or, maybe you’re a food fanatic and you’re looking for something to tickle your tastebuds - if that’s the case, the Bite to the Beat Festival at York Racecourse should be on your radar. As the holiday season reaches its peak, there’s no better excuse to go out and enjoy the last of those long summer days and nights. Have a fabulous month!

Get in touch!

Don’t forget

We would love to hear from you! www.whatsoninyork.com
