A brand new museum for York, City Walls Experience at Micklegate Bar, opens to the public this Easter! Take the kids to visit one of the historic gateways into the city – and discover 2,000-year stories involving battles, imprisonment and near destruction! Meet some of the characters whose stories are intertwined with Micklegate Bar: a princess, a Royalist in the English Civil War and an early 20th-century policeman who made the gatehouse his home. Plus, Micklegate Bar is the perfect place to start your walk around the York city walls. This new attraction is open April – October.
