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)

Lange dagen voor een wandeling over de stadsmuren en langs de rivier. Reserveer populaire attracties en kamers vooraf.

Autumn (September to November)

Rustigere straten zodra de schoolvakanties voorbij zijn, en mooi licht op de Minster.

Winter (December to February)

Korte dagen, maar musea, theesalons en oude pubs komen goed tot hun recht.
