On Sundays we say hello to new students. We can help you plan your transfer from your arrival airport or, if you prefer, arrange a taxi transfer for you.

Taxi transfers are not included in the course fee and there is an additional charge

Getting to York Taxi transfers

York has some of the finest City Walls in Europe and they provide great views of the City.

The walls surround the medieval city in a c-shape (there was originally a lake to one side of the City) and are almost unchanged since their construction in the 13th Century.

York is home to the largest Railway Museum in the World.

The UK was 'the cradle of the railways': an industry which transformed the way the world moves. From the earliest trains to the world's fastest steam train, from trains built in the UK to a bullet train from Japan, see some of the most remarkable vehicles which ever existed as you explore this one-of-a-kind building.

National Railway Museum

The guilds of York each had their own hall, these, and some incredible Medieval churches help give a flavour of the City from the Norman period.

Your teacher will guide you round a small selection of our halls and churches.

This is a great chance to try some of our amazing local cheese.

Cheese has always been a part of English food but many smaller cheeses and cheese makers disappeared in the twentieth century. Thankfully, a resurgence of artisan cheesemaking means that some lovely local cheeses are available again!

The good news is they are really easy to make!

This is your chance to find out how to make the delicious, but very simple, Yorkshire Puddings. While they are cooking we will tell you their history, and once done, we will eat them. It's not just food for thought!

The Royal Armouries is home to one of the world's largest collections of arms and armour, but also provides a fascinating insight into some of the wars which have shaped Europe over the last 1000 years.

The museum is in Leeds and a short walk brings us to the shopping area for some free time!

Things to do in Leeds

We welcome our new participants and say goodbye to those leaving. It's sad to say goodbye but we hope you have had a great time with us and will have many happy memories of your time in York!

We will pay a late visit to the Minster and listen to Evensong

This is a traditional Christian choral service and a real York experience.

No trip to York around Christmas would be complete without visiting York's St. Nicholas Christmas Market.

Treat yourself to a mulled wine and finish your Christmas shopping at the same time!

Yorkshire is perhaps the greatest of the brewing regions in England and home to some famous beers.

What is the difference between beer, ale and lager? Why is it called Indian Pale Ale? Just a couple of questions we will answer in our introduction to English beer!

Nothing is more British than an afternoon tea, complete with scones!

Follow a classic English recipe to learn how to make scones, then enjoy them freshly baked with a cup of tea.

Scarborough is a beautiful mix of the old and new. A picturesque harbour, Victorian hotels and a castle on the headland!

Discover York's Roman remains.

Within the walls, medieval York is a maze of small streets, the most famous being Stonegate, with its iconic view of the Minster and The Shambles, the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books. York has a fascinating web of even smaller streets and passages, called Snickelways. These provide a fascinating way to explore the City!

Your teacher will guide you around the streets and snickelways and tell you some of the history of our amazing City!

We will explore some of York's lesser-known old churches

The Minster may be the largest and greatest of York's churches, but the city's historic centre hides many smaller gems, from an 11th Century church founded by a Norwegian Earl, to one with a 15th Century stained glass window depicting the end of the world. Join us for this tour through some of the prettiest old buildings in the North of England
