The much-loved @the_york_bid grass animals are bac The much-loved @the_york_bid
grass animals are back for the summer season, and we couldn’t be more delighted. Not only do they add colour and cuteness to the city, but you’ll find them in quieter corners where there’s seating - ideal if you need a breather while you’re exploring. When you’re out and about in the sunshine🤞, see if you can spot them all!
@theflowerbelt is back for the season and it’s gor @theflowerbelt is back for the season and it’s gorgeous! We went this weekend and had such a lovely time. Bursting with colour, with plenty of space for kids to run free, the only thing you’ll need to worry about is getting carried away and heading home with more bunches than you know what to do with…

Treat yourselves to a homecooked pizza and a really good coffee while you take in the views. It’s simple, joyful and a lovely way to spend time together.

As big fans of Greek food, we’ve been meaning to t As big fans of Greek food, we’ve been meaning to try @inos.york for a while, but somehow time has run away with us. We finally made it there this evening and it was lovely and worth the wait: relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food (some of which we’ll be eating for lunch tomorrow - when will we learn not to over-order?!). If you’re looking for a taste of the Mediterranean in York, look no further.

We’ve been on blossom watch for a while, so it was We’ve been on blossom watch for a while, so it was a lovely surprise to walk around the corner at Victoria Bar and see the street lined with fluffy pink trees today. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and really worth a little walk to see. There’s a small play area, too, and lots of family-friendly cafes near by. If you can’t get there, the tree by Skeldergate Bridge is a beauty, too. Despite the temperature, spring does seem to be on the way 🤞🌸
The @angelonthegreen on @bishyroad has had a gorge The @angelonthegreen on @bishyroad has had a gorgeous new makeover, and we’re here for it. It’s spacious but cosy, welcoming and relaxed, and the perfect place for a little celebration drink this evening 🤫. They serve food (@radpizzashop  and @dirtyolivefood) on selected days too. Highly recommended 🍻
Think @yorkminsterofficial is too grand, too quiet Think @yorkminsterofficial is too grand, too quiet or too grown-up for kids? Think again! From hands-on activities to children’s trails, it’s one of York’s most surprisingly family-friendly - and inspiring -  places. A must-visit when you’re in York (and if you’ve got a Lego fan in the house, head down this week for the big build!).
Pirate boats, mushy peas and spending our life sav Pirate boats, mushy peas and spending our life savings on the arcades but winning nothing - what’s not to love about an Easter Sunday spent in Whitby? 

Our highlights: 

🌳 The stunning drive across the @northyorkmoors 
🐠 Lunch at @magpiecafewhitby (avoid queues by pre-booking if you're happy to eat before midday or after 2pm)
🏖️ Blustery walk along the beach
🍦 Lemon top ice creams all round 
🚶 Walking up the 199 steps to @whitby_abbey and enjoying the view 😮‍💨
☀️ Loads of glorious Yorkshire sunshine (nobody mention the temperature 🥶)

It’s a spring day out that’s hard to beat. Lovely. (And no, we didn’t brave the pirate ship - it looked terrifyingly close to toppling over!).

Not sure how it’s taken us so long, but we finally Not sure how it’s taken us so long, but we finally made it to @monk_park_farm and can honestly say it’s a lovely family day out from York. If your family loves cute creatures with a helping of indoor and outdoor play, it’s just the place. We love how self-contained and easy to navigate it is - it’s a great size for little legs and tired grown ups. There are various food options (and places to picnic too), and plenty of things to do. Added bonus - it’s at the gateway to the  gorgeous @northyorkmoors, if you fancy making a longer trip of it.
Thousands of cuddles on from his arrival, everyone Thousands of cuddles on from his arrival, everyone’s favourite bear has had a little touch-up. Not only that, but Paddington has moved from his original bench in Dean’s Park (next to @yorkminsterofficial) to one that’s closer to the main entrance, making him easier to find (and hug). Seek him out during park opening hours and see if he’s finished that marmalade sandwich yet…

What a sweet Easter experience! We took the kids t What a sweet Easter experience! We took the kids to York’s Chocolate Story and it was so good. Led by a brilliant tour guide, we travelled back in time and discovered how York became the chocolate capital of the UK, from Rowntree’s to Terry’s and beyond. With Easter facts dotted throughout, plenty of treats to sample and a live demo from a real chocolatier, it’s a brilliant activity out for families. There was even a little chocolate rainstorm! We topped our tour off with the truffle rolling workshop (an added extra), which was messy, delicious and good fun. One to add to your Easter plans! 🍫🍬
