Yorkshire cities, where people, culture, history, shopping and the future come together.

Fantastic shops, award winning attractions, lively art, music and drama scenes, plus some of the country’s best restaurants, shops, clubs and bars. But it’s the special character of cities like Leeds, York, Ripon, Wakefield, Sheffield, Bradford and Hull that really sets them apart.

Yorkshire cities and towns are warm, welcoming places. Whether you’re stepping into a traditional pub in York or the foyer of an opera in Leeds, you’ll get a friendly greeting. There’s always something happening.

Leeds is perfect for stylish shopping and decadent dining, from contemporary art to a vibrant nightlife, the city has an abundance of things to do. The compact centre is easy to explore, and boasts breathtaking architecture including Leeds Town Hall, and the stylish Victoria Quarter with some of the world's finest brands. Along the huge pedestrian-friendly Briggate and Kirkgate Market - the biggest of its kind in Europe - you are sure to be spoilt for choice. Leeds’ extensive food menu has global influences, so loosen your belts.

Close by in Bradford, this city does not fail to surprise. Recently titled a UNESCO City of Film, Bradford is a thriving cultural destination with a packed events calendar,

award winning museums, galleries and impressive theatres. City Park is a highquality, six-acre public space in the heart of Bradford which contains the largest man-made water feature in any UK city.

Unrivalled for its curry cuisine, the city has just been crowned the Curry Capital of Great Britain 2011. The surrounding area has a lot to offer including the UNESCO World Heritage Site Saltaire, a perfectly preserved Victorian village and home to Salts Mill. There you will find Gallery 1853, home to one of the biggest collections of Bradford born David Hockney’s artwork in the world.

The city of York is a delight to visit at any time, be it to soak up some history, enjoy afternoon tea, indulge in a spot of shopping or simply to marvel at its beautiful architecture and surroundings.

2012 marks a spectacular programme of events in the city, celebrating a momentous occasion. Eight hundred years ago, York was granted a Royal Charter by King John in 1212, allowing the city to take charge of its own affairs.

Hull is a cosmopolitan city with access to colourful seaside resorts, a jawdropping coastline and miles and miles of tranquil countryside. Whether it’s sandcastles on the beach or a night on the tiles, clambering over cliffs or strolling around a stately home, we’ve got it covered.

Hull has transformed itself over recent years and has been described as a gem in Yorkshire’s magnificent crown. Take a stroll through the old town, named as one of the best preserved urban areas thanks to its historic pubs, museums and cafés.

If cities and indulgence is your thing, Sheffield, with its fine dining, shopping and culture will be right up your street.

Or if the outdoors and nature floats your boat, with the expansive Peak District and masses of outdoor attractions in the county, Sheffield offers every option to suit your needs.

For delicious dining visit Silversmiths restaurant in the city centre or head for the multi-award winning gastro pub, The Milestone. For fans of fine dining, take a taxi out to The Old Vicarage, Sheffield’s only Michelin Star restaurant.

Stunning views, history and a gateway to The Dales – it can mean only one thing, the Catherdal City of Ripon.

The old city of Ripon is filled with

shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, including the One Eyed Rat, a traditional real ale pub famous for it's old fashioned charm. Time travel back some 700 years with a visit to the historic Ripley Castle or explore Yorkshire’s first World Heritage site at Fountains Abbey.

The Wakefield area is best known for art and food. The annual Wakefield Festival of Food, Drink and Rhubarb, Pontefract Liquorice Festival, the breathtaking Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the award winning Hepworth Wakefield have put the city firmly on the map.

Within these Yorkshire cities, you’ll find both contemporary and historic accommodation. It could be a stylish modern hotel inside a listed building or elegant town house boutique hotel.

There are purpose built modern hotels and cosy B&Bs in charming old Victorian houses. Old or new, Yorkshire gives you the best of both.

Yorkshire's cities deliver a fabulous mix of fashion, fun, culture, clubs, music and mouth-watering food.

There's something for everyone from Britain's oldest recorded city to the most important Asian Festival in the country.

We all love thick white towels, brilliant white bathrobes that enwrap you in a loving, deep-piled embrace and – at the end of the day – crisp, cool cotton sheets and duvets light as clouds.

PAMPER YOURSELF

Calm & wellbeing Which is more luxurious and relaxing: a hot therapeutic pool lined with traditional decorative tiles - or a modern minimalist spa centre with ambient music and chic furniture? Here in Yorkshire you don’t have to choose, you can simply enjoy both!

The best thing about the spas in Yorkshire is that all types are available across the county - day spas, water treatment rooms, Turkish baths, hotel spas and spa retreats. Yorkshire has embraced the modern revolution in spas with typical pride and enthusiasm.

At Eastthorpe Hall, Mirfield in West Yorkshire their unique holistic approach brings a sense of wellbeing for both mind, body. With impeccable taste and an utterly client focussed approach Eastthorpe makes for a rather special day.

Over in Huddersfield Titanic Spa is one of the most exciting and advanced spa destinations in the UK. Based in a beautifully-renovated former industrial textile mill on the River Colne. The mill has gone from satanic to Titanic, you might say. The seclusion of the river valley and the grandeur of the industrial past create a magnificent setting for a leisurely wallow or a specific therapy.

While Titanic has transformed its past, Harrogate’s Turkish Baths are revelling in theirs. During its peak, royalty and aristocracy frequently graced the fashionable arabesque interior.

meeting in the Pump Room, so many ministers were spa regulars.

It’s easy to unwind at Sheffield’s Turkish Baths too. Like Harrogate’s, they combine Victorian splendour with modern health, beauty and hair treatments. The baths are now known as Spa 1877 and the building is one of Sheffield’s major Victorian landmarks. The original Turkish Baths were opened in that same year and described as ‘the finest in the kingdom’.

A recent addition to our array of spa destinations is the five star Cedar Court Grand in the historic City of York. The Spa at the Grand is set in the hotel’s atmospheric vaults. This secluded and tranquil environment is the perfect city centre getaway and an ideal way to escape the rush and stress of everyday life - the only evidence of its past life are the thick vault doors which now make ideal soundproofing!

In the East of the county Sessions Spa is situated in the historic market town of Beverley. Its treatment rooms and salon are built within the fabric of the original court house which has been lovingly restored. Contemporary style combines understated luxury with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

If you like the idea of mixing a country retreat with facials and fine food, look no further than the Verbena Spa. Nestled on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and part of the Feversham Arms Hotel this laid back, country chic style spa is just lovely.

To round off our selection of super spas, Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa in Leeds has first class facilities. If you fancy a girls weekend away you can enjoy the Thorpe Park Girls Night In. Relax in the spa, order a chick flick with popcorn and nibbles.

A perfect way to relax with friends.

GOODBYE WORK HELLO WEEKEND Yorkshire nightlife

Yorkshire has emerged as so much more than the rolling hills and stunning landscapes that define it.

The last two decades have seen a radical transformation of the county’s nightlife, from the emergence of a cutting-edge club scene to the world-renowned names lining up to play there. For a special night out in Yorkshire the choice is endless. For those looking to hit the town, enjoy champagne and cocktails and great music, Yorkshire delivers.

Where there once was a smattering of Northern Soul, Yorkshire’s nightlife has blossomed to integrate dance music, indie nights, jazz bars, bhangra beats and much more.

The Adelphi Club in Hull is one of the last surviving underground live music venues in the country.

Discover a tempting range of up-to-the-minute speciality shops, which will sell you everything from retro-Sixties furniture to art deco, the latest fashion to contemporary crafts.

Catwalk Queens Leeds has been transformed into Britain’s most inventive and colourful shopping city. Queen of the catwalks Vivienne Westwood and top British designer Paul Smith led the march north in the nineties with flagship stores in the revived Victoria Quarter. They were only slightly upstaged by the arrival of Harvey Nichols, whose opening in the arcades saw the quarter nicknamed Knightsbridge of the North. That’s not doing the Victoria Quarter any justice because Knightsbridge can’t hold a candle to these lavish arcades with their mosaic ceilings, chandeliers, fountains, acres of marble and brass.

Vintage For the vintage style go to Kirkgate Market in Leeds where you will find three floors of unique vintage pieces. Bird's Yard currently houses everything from high-end vintage womenswear and accessories, an in-house stylist, bespoke dressmaking and tailoring, 20+ jewellery designers and two 26

With art galleries, shops, a café and restaurant all under one roof, you can soak up some culture while you contemplate your next purchase. For a contrast that highlights Bradford’s multicultural high society, go straight to Bombay Stores. Britain’s largest Asian department store celebrated its 40th birthday last year, and you’ll be spoilt for choice in this Aladdin’s cave of Indian fashion and design.

York for variety York is a boutique-lover’s dream, with hundreds of stores to set the pulse racing, all scattered along quaint cobbled streets and narrow lanes. Just off the main shopping street Stonegate, Grape Lane and Low Petergate have cornered the market in stylish men’s and women’s wear with local talent on display next to some of Britain’s most celebrated designer names.

Frances Atkins’ cooking is based on simple ideas and well-tried combinations, but still contrives to introduce new twists and original touches. Recently listed in the Top 50 restaurants in The Good Food Guide 2010, the Yorke Arms near Harrogate is well worthy of it's Michelin Star.
