"Founded in 1822, Tetley was once the biggest brewery in the North, and for a while, it was the largest producer of cask ale in the world. Its reign ended when the brewery was taken over by the Carlsberg Group, and the brewery closed in 2011, before being demolished a year later. Thankfully, out of its ashes, a new venue was born."

"York Art Gallery boasts the largest collection of British Studio Ceramics in the country in its Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA).

Highlights include works by Pablo Picasso, L S Lowry and David Hockney."

"One of England's most impressive collections of sculpture is scattered across the formidable 18th-century estate of Bretton Park, 200-odd hectares of lawns, fields and trees. A bit like the art world's equivalent of a safari park, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases the work of dozens of sculptors both national and international. The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."

"A few doors down from the Wonky Donkey this pub is a relative newcomer to High Petergate, which has become somewhat of a haven for pubs, with six rubbing shoulders over the 150 metres that throng with tourists in the shadow of York Minister. Generous refurbishment of this handsome three-floored timbered building (dating back to 1642) by owner Camerons has made this place a very agreeable place to sample an extensive range of beers. Leeds Brewery beers feature prominently on the eight handpumps on the bar as part of an agreement when Camerons bought their pub estate."

"Another local main staple surrounding York Minster is the Eagle and Child, highlighting again the best of York’s historic offerings. Built-in 1640, the Grade II* listed Leeds Brewery Company pub prides itself on its locally supplied seasonal dishes, offers the best range of beers, spirits, and gins, and boasts a fantastic Sunday roast. Plus the Rolling Stones once hung out here!"
