Remember, Remember… Grab your woolly hats and sparklers. This month, we’re celebrating the downfall of York’s most notorious villain. And while bonfire night is a big deal for us and everyone else across the country, it’s just one of many brilliant events happening in this humble city that we call home. York Christmas markets return, and the city is lit up with twinkly lights. It’s very nearly mince pie season, and there’s plenty of festive events to reflect that. You’re sure to have a ball. Until next time,
