The busiest months for festivals here are January, June, November and December, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our York guide says about those seasons:

Summer (June to August)

Giornate lunghe per passeggiare sulle mura e lungo il fiume. Meglio prenotare in anticipo attrazioni e camere più popolari.

Autumn (September to November)

Strade più tranquille dopo la fine delle vacanze scolastiche e una bella luce sul Minster.

Winter (December to February)

Giornate corte, ma musei, sale da tè e pub storici danno il meglio.
