It’s finally summer, (fingers crossed for summer weather!) and I have put together a guide of outdoor cinema, concerts and open air theatre for what’s happening in June, July and August in York. In (largely) date order: Sounds of Bridgerton in the Boar Garden Castle Howard, York YO60 7DA Sunday…
It’s no secret that I love to meet up with friends and indulge in a bottomless brunch. We have tried more than your average person, shall we say! It’s just such a fun thing to do and generally does not cost anymore than the price of a (slightly more expensive…
Did you know that City Cruises do a fish and chip cruise? I have been on many cruises up and down the Ouse over the years but have never done the fish and chip cruise so we were quite excited to be asked to go along and try it. The…
We live very close to Millington and have visited The Gait Inn many times over the years. It’s a lovely country pub in a stunning location. It’s perfect for Sunday Lunch or the pub at the end of the walk through Millington Pastures or Millington Woods. It’s lovely inside too…

This week we went along to try out Vallado Lounge at Vangarde. It’s in the huge corner space in the same block as Hollywood Bowl and Cineworld, that (I believe) was originally earmarked for TGI Fridays until covid put an end to it. So, I think it is fabulous that…
Have you heard of The Dreamery Gardens? They are ‘England’s Lost Faery Gardens’, in the woods not too far from Stamford Bridge. They used to be known as Northwood too. It’s an incredible place to take children but it’s a gorgeous place to wander round without them too! If you…
