York

Many travel guides will tell you about York's little streets, and its tendency to have those streets invaded by Vikings, Romans and such. It’s all true. But nowadays it's what York's community does with those little streets that really sets it apart. You'll find a crowd of independent shops, cafes and galleries, plus layer after layer of ancient architecture jostling for position. Presiding over it all is the glorious York Minster, a sandstone leviathan with immense charisma that dominates the city centre and offers fresh, weird design delights with each repeat visit.

For a truly one-of-a-kind souvenir, the York Ghost Merchants is the place to go. Select a cute ghoul figurine from the hundreds on display in this Georgian-styled shop. Try them out in the staging area, name them and take one home to meet your mum.

The ghosts are made on the premises. Each one is unique with it's own colours and decoration. Look out for forthcoming events here soon.
