@lovecheeseyork on Gillygate - Still stuck for an absolute belter of a gift for someone extra awesome this year?⠀ ⠀ Our virtual cheese tastings have taken on a life of their own this year, and with 2021 looking likely to start a lot like 2020 ended, how about giving them the gift of an awesome, tasty extra fun night of fun?⠀ ⠀ £50 for a box for two people, and we have 3 dates already available Jan - March and if you’re not sure which they’d like, get a gift card and let them choose themselves!⠀ ⠀ Thanks for the ace 📸 @mum_k16 
@littlevikingsyork - This isn’t going to be the week that many of us had hoped for, but we can cheer ourselves up with some festive baking (and eating). Here’s a little teaser of our favourite Christmas recipes from the Little Vikings website (https://buff.ly/2KeyOyR). As well as the pretty stained glass biscuits, you’ll find:⠀ ⠀ - Mince pies⠀ - Christmas cookies⠀ - Gingerbread shapes⠀ - Festive flapjacks⠀ - White chocolate and cranberry cookies⠀ ⠀ They’re family favourites here and have been tried and tested (too) many times. You could even bake something to leave for Father Christmas and the reindeer (assuming that the North Pole isn’t in Tier 4). Happy baking!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ https://buff.ly/34wtKMS

Haiku is not fun. I really do not like it. But I can write it! Write the best Haiku poem about Indie York, or York’s independent businesses – best one wins a £100 Gift Voucher from Ken Spelman Bookshop.

We can respect the layers of history which make our city so attractive; while embracing those who use our city for celebrating birthdays, Hen do’s and globally important sporting events.” ⠀ ⠀ Oy! Oy!

Living nearby he comes to shop, cultural vi⠀ Dan Cimmermann said ⠀ “When I was looking through my photos and sketches I was struck with the contrast between the stoic architecture, layers of history and the revellers which drive the city’s economy today. ⠀ Whether they be the stags and hens meeting centrally from across the country or the landed gentry celebrating a coup at the races, the streets of York are filled every weekend with drunken forms and faces finding their way around the streets and alleys.”⠀ Dan continued “ I kept imagining the Minster’s gargoyles looking down and wondering about how their world view had changed over the millennia”.⠀ Craig said “To put this show on after York has seen the quietest year in its history, regarding visitor numbers at least, is the sort of juxtaposition that tweaks an artist’s and a gallery in a new location’s interest. ⠀ Many a local have lamented the city being overrun every weekend but this staccato year has reminded us all that the city has the restaurants, museums, pubs and cultural investment because of the people attracted to come for whatever reason.”⠀ ⠀ sits, eat in the restaurants and come to the races. He is a keen photographer as well as a celebrated painter so on the visits he often is taking snaps of scenes and events that catch his eye.

@bishopandbison on Clifton - When we first moved to York 9 months ago (5 days before lockdown part 1) we knew very little of the business landscape here in the city.⠀ ⠀ It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that York is truly a city of independent businesses with over 65% being independently owned and managed. That is when we came across the fabulous @indieyork who are York’s Independent Business Association.⠀ ⠀ Indie York provides support to businesses to help them grow and thrive through various channels including their website and social media. They also provide a really useful map which lists all of the businesses who are part of the association. They started with 30 businesses and it’s now over 200.⠀ ⠀ As a small independent business, we jumped at the chance of becoming members of this wonderful organisation and are thrilled to be listed on the map. We have said this a few times but we will continue to beat the drum, it is really important to support local and small businesses. If it takes you an extra few minutes when on line to source a product you want to buy or a place you want to stay, just think what that means to the small independent business owner you are supporting rather than a large corporate juggernaut.⠀ ⠀ #bishopandbison #indieyork #supportlocal #smallindependentbusiness #smallbusiness #localbusiness #luxuryhotel #luxurybandb #bedandbreakfast #york #visityork #visitengland #hoteldesign #interiordesign #lgbtfriendly #gaytraveller #gaytravel #boutiquebandb #staycation #visityorkshire #northyorkshire #lovewherewelive #weekendaway #ukbreaks #luxurytravel #americanaalavictoriana #bishopandbison #boutiquehotel #beourguest #staywithus
