Last night we took the scenic route into York, and we were so glad we did. Swapping the busy streets for the city walls meant we could enjoy gorgeous views of the city without any traffic. How nice is the front of York station looking now?

This time of year, the walls are open longer, so why not make the most of it? Older kids love being out when it’s later, and a little walk before bed might help them sleep during a heatwave. Why not take a look at what’s on at the theatre, book somewhere nice for dinner, or even just have a walk into town and mooch around @toppingsyork, the new book shop, which is open late.

One word of warning: there’s always a tiny risk of getting locked in (they’re closed at ‘dusk’), but it’s not happened to us yet!

⛸️ BIG Christmas news for York! Huge apologies fo

Happy Independents Day from York, a city where ind

Happy Independents Day from York, a city where independent businesses thrive. Around 65% of York’s businesses are independently owned, and they’re a huge part of what makes this place so special.

As a homegrown independent business ourselves, we’re passionate about supporting the brilliant people behind York’s indie shops, cafés, restaurants and attractions. Whether you’re stopping for a coffee and a juice, buying a birthday gift or heading out for a family lunch, choosing independent really does make a difference.

If you don’t already, give @indieyork a follow. It’s York’s only not-for-profit organisation supporting independent businesses, with more than 250 members. We’re proud members and part of the team behind it too.

So if you’re out and about this weekend, show your favourite independents some love. ❤️

Today is the day! The sun is shining, @acombfest is here and the neighbourhood is looking amazing. Head down over the next three days to see what it’s all about, and head to our website for all the info.

🏊 Looking for a family-friendly hotel in York with a swimming pool this summer?

Whatever the weather, a swimming pool is a real bonus on a family break, whether you’re bobbing about with your baby or letting your older kids splash about after a day of sightseeing. Heatwave or pouring rain, it’s always a good idea.

These four lovely York hotels all have indoor pools, and are very family-friendly too.

💦 Delta Hotels by Marriott York Set beside York Racecourse, Delta has a heated indoor pool and separate little pool. It has lovely large family rooms and interconnecting options, as well as a huge garden.

💦 Novotel York Centre Just a short walk from the city walls, Novotel has a modern indoor pool and sauna and is one of our favourite family hotels in York. It’s really popular with families thanks to its spacious rooms and handy location, making it easy to explore York on foot.

💦 The Milner York Right next to York railway station, The Milner is a gorgeous hotel that combines a brilliant city centre location with an indoor swimming pool. It’s perfect if you’re arriving by train or want York’s attractions within easy walking distance.

💦 The Grand, York For a more luxurious stay, The Grand’s award-winning spa features a beautiful hydrotherapy pool that’s perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. Hotel guests can book access for an additional charge, and family swim sessions for children aged three and over are available at selected times.

Find more inspiration for places to stay in York with kids over on the Little Vikings website.

York’s newest festival is coming this weekend, and it sounds awesome 🎨✨

AcombFest will transform Front Street into an open-air gallery this weekend, with incredible live mural painting, street art, music, workshops, food and family activities.

This weekend we ended up back again at @littleblondiebakehouse for an end of term(ish) treat or two.

Nothing makes us recommend somewhere more than when our kids keep asking to go back, and Little Blondie Bakehouse is one of those places. Tucked away on Walmgate, just a five-minute stroll from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this pretty pink bakery is always worth a visit. The only tricky part is deciding what to order, especially if there’s a queue! Top tip: get there early for the best selection, and remember that tray bakes travel better than fancy cream cakes…

📍 Little Blondie Bakehouse, 66 Walmgate, York YO1 9TL

Avoid disappointed faces this summer! In spite of the fact that this is our actual job, we’ve lost count of the times that we’ve tried to book an activity at the last minute, only to find that everyone else has been far more organised and it’s sold out 😩.

Summer is the busiest time in York, so it really is worth planning ahead. These experiences are particularly popular, so don’t hang about if you fancy visiting during the warmer months ☀️

✨ This weekend in York! ✨   Meet a crocodile, see how the Victorians did summer in York and maybe even have a cruise along the Ouse! We’ve got ideas for where to hide from the heat, too.

For us, summer = strawberry picking 🍓

Over a decade ago, we took our kids to The Balloon Tree to pick strawberries, and we had no idea we’d still be going back a decade later. Somewhere along the way, it’s became an annual tradition, and one we’d wholeheartedly recommend.

It’s lovely, good value and a great excuse to spend some time outdoors together. And in October, pumpkins swap in for berries for a gorgeous autumn day out.

📍 The Balloon Tree, Stamford Bridge Road, Gate Helmsley, York YO41 1NB
🗓 Weekends through summer, subject to fruit availability. Check social media before you go.
