Happy ! r a e Y w e N Whether the festive period has left you wanting a quiet, relaxing break, or you're up for some high-octane fun, York has got it all.

For those who need to wind down, we recommend spending your days browsing at Newgate Market and enjoying endless cups of tea at the many gorgeous cafes; or, you could opt for a spot of culture with the fine art exhibition at the New School House Gallery.

There's plenty to keep music fans entertained too, with choices ranging from organ music to rock bands. And there's nothing better than a good book to help you to relax – find your next page-turner at York Book Fair.

Feeling a little more energetic? The HUGE gig should get your pulse racing. If you've never seen the band

n january 2014

perform before, take the chance now – it's not your average sit and watch event. Everybody gets up out of their seats, and until you've seen Big Ian perform live, you haven't lived!

Meanwhile, there's still chance to enjoy the last of the festive period with York's Chocolate Story's Chocolate Covered Christmas, as well as the outdoor ice rink fun at The Ice Factor at York Designer Outlet. Get your skates on and have some fun!

Brassed off

(14th February-1st March)

It’s 1992 Grimley Colliery faces the threat of closure and the future of the brass band seems uncertain. With the miners torn between redundancy packages and the picket lines, bandleader Danny’s hopes of winning the national brass band competition seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhorn-playing Gloria brings hope, romance and controversy to the Yorkshire brass band on the brink of collapse.
