Does anyone know why river cruises in York are so short? Any other mainland European city on a large navigable river such as the Ouse would normally have extended cruising. Half day or at least several hours. Isn't the ouse navigable by big boats for quite a way north and south?
Why don't they capitalise on this?
Am I missing something?
Always one of my favourite views, especially in the sunshine!
Hi! Where is a good place to casually practice Arabic in York?
I’m planning a York-based visitor attraction concept around the joy of model railways, miniature worlds and hands-on experiences.
The big challenge is not the train bit. I know that world well enough.
The challenge is finding the right people around it - people with experience in attractions, hospitality, property, operations, partnerships, fundraising or building something from scratch.
So this is a straightforward ask.
If you’ve helped launch or grow a visitor attraction, family experience, museum, leisure venue or similar, I’d love to hear from you.
If you know someone who has, I’d be grateful for an introduction.
I’m especially interested in speaking to people who are practical, commercially minded and excited by making something distinctive happen in York.

Ive been battling with a noisy KitchenAid mixer and I’m now at the point where I’ve had enough
While trying to diagnose it, I had it partly disassembled, accidentally switched it on, the motor ran, some internal wires came off, there was a flash, and now it won’t switch on at all
I’ve reached the end of my tether with it and I’m done washing gear grease off my hands every five minutes
Does anyone in York have any experience with local repairers, or know anyone nearby who repairs KitchenAid mixers?
I’m looking for someone local and competent rather than sending it away if possible
Ta!
It’s always nice to be back here. I left York when I was 9 years old……fifty years on the streets are filled with a lot more tourists. Its my little happy place.
Hi everyone!
My partner and I are international students attending Uni of York 2026-2027 and struggling to find housing together. On campus isn’t an option, so we’re looking for a small one bedroom flat or something we could split to make it affordable for us?
Anyone know any good websites that are trustworthy to find this? I’m not sure where to look since we’re international I don’t want to get scammed! Any advice is appreciated
