When to visit

York is a versatile destination that offers attractions and activities for families all year round. However, the best time to visit York depends on your interests and the type of holiday you're planning. Summer provides the warmest weather, but can also be the busiest and most expensive time to visit. For a more relaxed experience, consider visiting during the autumn months, when the city is adorned with a rich canvas of colourful foliage and hosts various cultural events. Bear in mind that the weather in York can be unpredictable, so pack accordingly and be prepared for changing conditions. And as always, it's best to schedule your trip during school holidays to avoid fines for taking your children out of school in term time.
