Events at Easter in York City Centre

York’s Chocolate Story

From the 6^th – 13^th April 2020
Tour Times each day: 11am & 2pm

The Easter Bunny and their friend are visiting York’s Chocolate Story for an incredible Easter egg hunt experience. Children will join in with amazing games and meet colourful costumed characters as they work to find the missing chocolate eggs.

Start outside the attraction in King’s Square, before being led to the beautiful surroundings of the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall, this is the perfect way for families to get into the Easter Spirit.

Be aware; the Easter Bunny loves fresh air! As the event will be outside in Yorkshire weather, it’s best to come prepared!

Please note that the Easter Egg Hunt taking place on the afternoon of Saturday 11th will be slightly different. There will be one taking place at 2pm and another at 3:30pm, at the attraction itself. These two will be indoors, in contrast to the others taking place outdoors at the Merchant Adventures’ Hall.
