I don’t know if you know Millington? It’s a tiny picturesque village up on the Yorkshire Wolds. For such a small place it packs a punch regarding hospitality as it has both a pub and a tea rooms. We don’t live far from Millington so last weekend when we had…
Paint-by-numbers projects offer adults a unique blend of art therapy and mental exercise. This activity, while seemingly simple, encourages individuals to engage in a structured yet freeing creative process. It stands as a gateway to relaxation and a methodical means to art creation that can be profoundly soothing. With every…
We recently tried out the Cicchetti Lounge on Low Petergate. It’s right next door to La Vecchia Scuola Italian Restaurant and is part of the same group. They run a ‘Two Courses for £17.95’ deal which is pretty good value BUT I managed to pick up a Groupon that…
I have to say, the afternoon tea at The Dreamery Gardens was simply exquisite. I know, I am opening with a strong statement, but seriously, just look at these beautiful photographs! We explored the faery gardens first and you can see that review here entry to the gardens are free…

If you are looking for a country pub for Sunday dinner, afternoon tea or even just a regular lunch then I think The Drover’s Arms at Skipwith would be perfect for you. They have recently spent a fortune (£150k!) refurbishing. I hadn’t visited previously so can’t compare, but I can…
We are so very lucky in York to have some amazing theatres offering all sorts of different styles of entertainment. Last night we went along to the The Grand Opera House to the press night of Sister Act. It’s a musical based on the film of the same name that…
What’s On in York in May? Whether you are visiting the city or, like me, you live here it’s always good to have a list of what’s on so you can plan your month ahead! As always, things are subject to change, so do check with the individual venue to…
Last night we went to see 2:22 A Ghost Story at The Grand Opera House. I didn’t really know what to expect but I had seen lots of articles about how good it was last year so I was excited when I heard it was coming to York. It stars Vera…
