See in 2022 with a show

Cinderella is on at York Theatre Royal, and Dick Turpin Rides Again is on at Grand Opera House York, both sure to give you a laugh or two. It’s the perfect way to celebrate whilst keeping out of the cold, before heading back to your room at our York hotel for a glass of bubbly or two.
