Hello June!

Summer is finally here and we kick off the season with the Festival of Ideas, a fantastic event that encourages locals and visitors to engage in interesting topics, concepts, and discussions alongside a programme of VIPs… including the wonderful, worldrenowned children’s author Micheal Morpurgo, BBC presenter and Team GB triathlete Louise Minchin and actor Tim McInnerny, plus many more!

Off the back of the Festival of Ideas, York becomes a bold and vibrant hub as we prepare to celebrate York Pride, in support of our LGBTQ+ community - think bright colours, a giant parade, live entertainment, amazing scran and fairground rides set on the beautiful grounds of the Knavesmire. Don’t forget to show your support and buy one of the official wristbands for exclusive discounts!

As we’re fast approaching the school holidays, there are also plenty of family-friendly events to get involved in. From the Wilberforce Trust Summer Fete to the Family Wildlife Day at Stillingfleet Lodge, there’s plenty to enjoy. And if you’re not quite out of learning mode just yet, York College has an open day later in the month if you want to explore your future career options, talk to tutors or browse York College's amazing facilities.

As always, the city is full of events and opportunities, so go grab ‘em!

Have a wonderful month.

Review: Delta Hotels York by Marriott

Following its recent refurbishment, Delta Hotels by Marriott offers visitors and residents of York alike, a relaxing time in the city. We hear from our writer, Emily who was lucky enough to take a visit: Nestled on Tadcaster Road, away from the hustle and bustle of town lies the newly-refurbished Delta Hotel by Marriott. As we arrive for our stay, there’s plenty of parking around the back and we don’t have to carry our bags far before arriving at the entrance. The reception area is smart and despite being a corporate hotel, the plush decor and relaxed seating area in the foyer immediately say that this will be a home away from home. Our check-in is welcoming and efficient, and it's not long before we take the cosy elevator to the third floor. Making our way through the maze of corridors, we excitedly use our key card to enter room 316.

A King Superior room awaits us and we’re immediately met with the view of a lounge area, complete with a cosy sofa, large tele, and all the basic amenities you hope to see in a hotel. From little luxuries such as a selection of teas, coffees, a stash of biscuits, and cleanpressed robes, to more functional features like an iron, refrigerator, and kettle, the room is well equipped. Over in the bedroom,

there’s a majorly inviting King bed with fresh, crisp sheets and enough room to roll over about three times before being in danger of falling off. Another tele faces the bed, so you even have the luxury of a few options for where to spend your downtime. The bathroom is light, airy and features a beautiful view overlooking the beautiful hotel grounds and Knavesmire further afield. As well as the toilet, the room contains a bath and shower, and an additional shower cubical. Even if you forget the essentials, Delta Hotel has you covered supplying fluffy towels, a rack of thisworks® shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, along with a few other bath-time goodies. Once we’re settled into our room, we head down to try out the gym. Bear in mind, if you’re planning on using the lockers, you do need a pound to secure your key! The gym is snug but contains most of what you’d need to maintain your fitness routine away from home. From dumbbells to barbells, a cross trainer to a treadmill, there’s something for every basic exercise need. There’s also a pool within the leisure site, and although you shouldn’t expect to do any Olympic-style swimming, the quaint pool is perfect for a gentle swim. The jacuzzi was a particular highlight and if time

wasn’t of the essence, we’d have certainly stayed there all day. It is gorgeously warm and too good to miss. Equally, there’s a lovely little sauna and steam room to make use of too as well as some deck chairs if you fancy reading a book by the pool- the perfect relaxation routine before bed!

After a sound sleep, it’s time for us to go for breakfast. We’re offered a pot of fresh coffee and to our delight, we’re led to a table that overlooks the beautiful gardens and racecourse. The breakfast room is spacious, comfy, and well-organised. Being wholehearted foodies, my guest and I take full opportunity of this extensive breakfast buffet. From every component of a Full English that you could think of, to sweet waffles, fresh pastries, bread, continental meat and cheeses, fruits, delicious spreads, an array of cereals and juices, Delta Hotel ensures you will not leave the premises hungry. After rolling ourselves out of the breakfast room, we pack our bags and head for checkout. If there’s one thing that can be safely said about our stay at the Delta Hotel, it’s that we felt well and truly pampered and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.
