The sun’s back, and so are The York BID’s colourful seating areas and grass animals!

We’re big fans: these spaces are the perfect place for families to relax, sit down with a snack or snap a sunny selfie when York’s brimming with summer visitors. The grass animals are always a big hit with kids (but good luck telling them they can’t climb on them…). This year, there’s a brand-new grass horse seat in Davygate, too, so see if you can spot it. 

Also new and coming soon is Tommy Treebark’s Wild Adventure, a free family trail filled with colourful creatures and fun across the city. We’ll bring you news of that as we have it. In the meantime, don’t forget The Little Vikings I Spy Trail, York’s best family-friendly walking trail, recommended by The Sunday Times!

📍You’ll find the grass sculptures at locations including:

• Exhibition Square
• York Museum Gardens
• Duncombe Place
• Dean’s Park
• College Green
• Eye of York
• Davygate
• Barbican
• Peasholme Green
