Here’s something fun and free to do in York this Christmas (and you might just win a prize too!).

There are 10 life-size nutcrackers dotted around York. Find all 10 and make a note of their names for a chance to win a £250 York Gift Card or one of five weekly Visit York hampers! Pick up a map and competition entry form from the Visit York Visitor Information Centre on Parliament Street.

Once you have found all 10 nutcracker names, hand in your entry at the Visitor Information Centre or post it at Santa’s post box in Museum Gardens. Why not post a letter to Santa at the same time!? You can even win your very own nutcracker if you can work out what links the nutcracker names!

The Nutcracker Trail runs from 16th November 2023 to 4th January 2024 – Visit the website to find out more
