Historical buildings and museums in York
"Family friendly York Castle Museum is centrally situated near Coppergate Shopping Centre – green signs direct you to the ‘Castle Area’. Collections of Costume and Textiles, Military and Social History and a collection on York Castle’s most famous prisoner Dick Turpin, eventually hanged in 1739, all feature in exhibitions. A favourite with children, the recreated Victorian and Georgian rooms here display historic every day items from the collection of North Yorkshire country doctor John Kirk."
"There's precious little left of York Castle except for this evocative stone tower, a highly unusual four-lobed design built into the castle's keep after the original one was destroyed in 1190 during anti-Jewish..."
"Lots of things to do, including learning about the history of the building, which was once a prison – hear what crimes some of its inmates had committed. The best part (in our opinion) is the recreated Victorian Street, Kirkgate – a cobbled street with traditional shops to visit. VISIT THEIR WEBSITE >>"
"If you’re a lover of cheesy dance songs, 90s hits and neon décor then Popworld in York is right up your street. This night out staple is the best nightclub in York for a dance and singalong. Let loose on the colourful dancefloor and pair the vibrant atmosphere with fruity cocktails to keep you fuelled all night long."
"This exhibition, housed inside York's most impressive city gate, explores the reign of Henry VII (r 1485–1509), the first Tudor king of England, who defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the..."
"Recognised as one of the best universities in Yorkshire, the University of Hull is a worthy destination to visit with its large and photogenic campus. There are many eating facilities on campus during school days as well, ranging from street food to catered fine dining."
"If you want vegan goodies then this is a fantastic place to visit. Billed as Cottingham’s only vegetarian coffee shop, Blondes, caters incredibly well for vegans. They do vegan cakes, vegan freakshakes and also sell a range of vegan products which you can take home with you."
"Blondes in Cottingham was voted number 1 vegan choice in a local Vegan Facebook group. It’s not one that I’ve tried as yet, but you can see how good it looks from the photos so it won’t be long before I check it out!"
"Reviews: "The best cakes and scones I have ever tasted and so fresh! And delivered to my door within the hour.". "Outstanding food friendly service and atmosphere. Small but perfectly suitable for just a coffee or a lovely meal personally made by Fran. Never tire of a visit to Solo's.". "Tried this place many times - totally fresh home made food I don’t know how she does it. Quiche to die for and my dad is hooked on the BLT!"
"Recent review: “Recently booked there for a meal with my family for my birthday. The food, service and live singers were excellent. My 7 year old grandson said he would certainly go back because the lasagne was delicious!"

"The Botanist is a great place to both eat and drink in York as it has such an extensive cocktail menu, as well as great foodie options, too. I’ve been to The Botanist on several different occasions, both with Matt, my friends and old work colleagues for our Christmas party last year and it’s delivered beyond my expectations every single time. I’d recommend: lamb kofta or chicken hanging kebabs (SO good) or the crispy chicken burger."
"Located in the city centre, The Botanist is a popular bar and restaurant in York which holds gin masterclasses. The gin masterclass gives you the chance to learn more about gin including the origins, history and tasting notes. You will get to sample a range of hand-selected gins and find out about their unique flavours, botanicals and the best pairings for each gin."
"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."
