York Residents 1st Weekend 27th/28th January

This year's York Residents 1st Weekend takes place on  Saturday & Sunday, 27th/28th January.

More than forty facilities and visitor attractions are open either free or at a reduced rate to holders of a YORKcard (Residents' Card). Additionally some  fifteen hotels and restaurants have special offers during this period. There are also several performance events.

Most venues are in the city centre, but some (e.g. Elvington Air Museum; Acomb Cold War Bunker) are in the suburbs.

If you don't have a YORKcard, you can get one free on showing identification and proof of residence (e.g. utility bill) at any Library. The YORKcard also serves as a library card, and entitles you to certain privileges throughout the year.

Since some of the Residents 1st tours and events (e.g. Monks Cross Waterworld) have only limited numbers of tickets, it is worth obtaining a copy of the detailed Residents 1st leaflet from the Library to discover how to book in advance. Information is also available at the Information Point in Parliament St. Fri. - Sun. 26th - 28th Jan.
