Happy holidays!

august is a great month to get away from it all and let your hair down. if you’ve picked up this copy of what’s on because you’re a guest to our fine city, perhaps taking a fun-packed week with the kids while they’re off school, or a sexy weekend away with... whoever... you’re all very welcome. it goes without saying that you have picked the best possible place to visit this month.

But what if you’re from York? what if you’ve picked us up while in the pub, or while trying to look busy at work, or while waiting for that all-important job interview to begin (just be yourself)...what then? well, if you actually live here, you’re already on holiday; one that lasts 365 days a year! after all, people from across the globe travel to your home to unwind, relax, and soak up the sights, but then have to go home. how lucky are you?

For further proof of just how lucky you are to live here, flip through these pages. august, and York, is jam-packed with events for all ages and tastes. how about brushing up on your mace skills at the Yorkshire medieval Festival, or getting lost in a giant Thunderbird 2 at York maze? For music lovers, The galtres parkland Festival is back, while the little ‘uns will enjoy a day out (or two) at piglets adventure Farm park. Lots to do, and each of them taking place right here on your door step. and just remember; following the revolution, you’ll also live in the capitol of the democratic republic of Yorkshire. Not bad, eh?

Thank you to John Potter Photography for this months front cover image, and what a stunner it is!
