A True Yorkshire Christmas gathers five of my favourite festive places in and around York — the kind of outings that feel thoughtful, atmospheric and wonderfully unhurried at this time of year. From Castle Howard’s imaginative winter transformation to candlelit tours, quiet corners of the Minster and slow wanders through the city’s historic streets, it’s a guide to the places that capture the season’s charm without the bustle. If you’re looking for inspiration over the Christmas break, it’s a lovely place to start.
