Whether you are a first year, a finalist or midway through your PhD, we would like to hear your thoughts and ideas on our latest project. We want to compile a list of 100 things to do in York as a student and are looking for your suggestions - the quirkier, the better!
Do you have any favourite things to do/visit in York? What has been your best experience in the City? We're looking to include attractions to visit, bars, restaurants, day trips and other things to do. A few ideas we have had:
• Have afternoon tea at Betty's Tea Room
• Find the best view of the Minster - apparently it's on the second
floor of M&S!
• Make a chocolate bar at the York Chocolate Story
• Scare yourself silly on a ghost walk
• Find out what’s in your pint and how real ale is made at the York
Brewery Tour
• Walk the whole way around the walls
• Play ‘Three Blind Mice’ on the pitched posts at Lord Mayors
Walk
• Drink a cocktail at Evil Eye ( Johnny Depps Favourite Bar)
• Travel to the seaside and have Fish and Chips
The final list will be made into a booklet or app by our friends at Make It York. There is going to be a prize for the best idea we get, so get your thinking caps on.
