Although Greater Manchester is bursting with places to visit and things to do, every once in a while it’s refreshing to have a change of scenery with a day trip. But when you factor in travel costs, eating out and activities, the cost of a visit can soon rack up.
This weekend to help make a day out more affordable, 60 historical buildings will open up for free in York, so you can soak up some history and culture without worrying about admission fees. Only an hour and 20 minutes away from Manchester on the train, York is city layered with history, and it's perfect to visit for the day or a weekend away.
On October 15 and 16 dozens of buildings and open spaces will be open to the public free of charge, as part of York Unlocked. The aim is to inspire visitors and give them an insight into the incredible places within the city.
