There’s plenty of Easter-inspired fun to get involved in, whether you want to stock up on tasty chocolate eggs or head on an outdoor hunt, you’ll be still spoilt for choice.

And beyond Easter, you’ll find us exploring the dark side of York on an evening tour, checking out the new City Walls Experience and making the most of the weather at York Golf Range’s crazy golf course.

York is gorgeous in spring, and there’s an event for everyone in this little mag, so without further ado, we’ll leave you to make the most of it!
