Welcome To July!

We’d absolutely love to say: ‘Don’t you worry, July will actually be sunny and this awful rainy June will go away’, however we sadly can’t promise that.

What we can promise is that there are some absolutely brilliant events to get your feet itching, tails wagging, and eyes widening. Rain or shine. Grab your calendar and head to pages 6 -18 to find out what the buzz is about this month.

Here in the Your Local Link offices (and probably everywhere in York), we’re pretty fed up with this dismal weather. And the worrying thing is that we haven’t even reached St. Swithun’s Day yet. So let’s hope the rain buggers off for the day on the 15th July at least…

Anyway, whatever the weather, we hope you have a wonderful July – and we’ll see you again in August!
