Work to create the first ever Winter Village at York Minster is now underway.

Located at the foot of the South Door of York Minster, it comprises several decorative wooden cabins offering food, drinks, gifts and the perfect place to sit and admire the view.

The Winter Village is a collaboration with York Minster who also bring a new Christmas event for this year, The Christmas Tree Festival, next to the village space.
