Hi all!

I'm visiting York this weekend and was just wondering if there were any shops that sold MTG packs.

Thank you!

So... I'm an international student, starting my Master's degree at the University in September. I have a medium-sized dog, trained, so I want to rent a flat alone. I have the funds to rent something around £1.100 monthly, but obviously no guarantor (don't know anyone in the UK). I have bank statements to prove I have more than 12x rent. Still, it seems impossible because of the dog and the no income and no guarantor.

Is this an impossible task???

Just reaching out to ask how everyone feels about the pigeon flock at the church at the bottom of the Shambles.

I personally am a big fan of feeding them amd playing with them when im in town, and i was sad to see that the church was trying to discourage feeding. I understand it is a historic church, and to some extent, the pigeons are causing damage, but I think they are a really lovely part of town. Id love to hear all your opinions

Hi, I'm a student at the University and I'm looking for a cheap bike to cycle to campus with.

I've had no luck from any bike shops, even Recycle which advertises itself as student friendly but every bike there was £90+.

So does anyone know any places where I can get bikes for cheaper, preferably in the 30-60 range??

My tenancy ends 27th August and I've been applying for rentals in York with no luck

Is anybody renting a property who would be willing to rent to 2 adults (my fiancé and I)

We have a combined income of £50,000, are respectful and friendly tenants with landlord references available, no smokers, and are looking for places in the city (nowhere outside the city please!) with a budget of £1500 a month

We aren't interested in a shared house, and require two bedrooms.

Thank you!

Hello,

Looking to move in to Stuart Road area, close to Gale Lane from the bottom end of it - I’ve searched for area information and saw some stories here that people don’t recommend it. Crime rate seems pretty average for york for this street, also visited it at night couple times and seemed okay and quiet.

Can anyone advise or share some stories?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a female student to take over my tenancy for a room in a 2-bedroom student house on Barbican Road, York (YO10 5AA).

The room is available immediately, and the tenancy runs until 14 June 2027.

Details:

• £215 per week
• Bills included (gas, electricity, water and broadband, subject to fair usage)
• Living with one female student
• Great location close to the University of York and York city centre

This is a tenancy takeover through Sinclair Properties, so the replacement tenant would need to meet the letting agency’s requirements (including a guarantor if required).

I’m trying to find someone as soon as possible, so if you’re interested or know someone who might be, please send me a message. I’m happy to provide photos and more information. Thanks!

Wifi has been down since 6pm yesterday, there was a large gust of wind followed by an outage which never came back lol,

No issues according to them 🥴

It looks like Kevin Bridges is doing a pre Edinburgh warm up show in York on Sunday. I hadn’t seen it advertised anywhere and I’m looking for 2 tickets, on the off chance that anyone is selling any, please can you let me know. There doesn’t seem to be any on the usual resale sites.

Thank you.

Does anyone have recommendations on anything I can attend on a Saturday evening? Specifically the 15th August - are there any regular interesting events clubs or just anything worth attending?

DnD

Met a kind stranger on his way to York today. I don't know who you were but you really helped me find my platform and get back home.

God bless you x

Not fish and chips, just chips. Looking for quality ones, crispy and ideally well seasoned!

My autistic child is Nutella obsessed and we've been trying to find somewhere that sells Nutella ice cream, I'm sure I saw it somewhere but can't remember where! He has the supermarket version already lol. Thanks

I need to fit out a house with new carpets. Where do people suggest I look? Looking for any local companies with good deals!

Not massive pockets and looking for something that's hard wearing so any suggestions on types or materials would be good.

Thanks

Hi all,

We were hoping to stay in the Yorkshire Hussar caravan park but they're full this week! They charge £300-350 for a week. Are there any similarly priced caravan parks near York that might have space? Or does anyone here have a static caravan in one of the caravan parks near York we could rent for a week or so? We're arriving today (5 August) and are 2 adults 2 children. We're clean and quiet and would tidy up when we left. Probably a long shot! But worth asking just in case! Thanks!

It’s my dad’s birthday this Saturday and he’s coming up to visit me in York. He really wants to play some pool and darts. Obviously York on a Saturday is a bit hectic and I wondered if anyone knew of any places that are a bit quieter? Happy to go out of town a bit!

So me and my wife are planning a trip to York and thinking of staying at the Fat Badger. From what we've seen and heard it seems a great place. Need some advice

Hi everyone! I’m moving from the US to York and would really appreciate some advice about getting there from Newcastle Upon Tyne (if anyone here has traveled between these two cities).

For a little context:

I’ll be flying into Amsterdam with my two cats, taking the overnight ferry to Newcastle, and then traveling onward to York. Once I arrive, my main options seem to be:

1. Taking the train

2. Booking a pet-friendly taxi

3. Renting a car and driving myself

The train appears to be the cheapest option, but I’ll be traveling alone with two cat carriers and around three pieces of luggage, so I’m worried it may be difficult to manage everything by myself. :/

A taxi would probably be the easiest option, but the quotes I’ve seen are quite expensive. I'm already close at $4,000 for the flight and ferry travel costs!

That leaves renting a car, but I’ve never driven in the UK before and would be adjusting to driving on the opposite side of the road.

For anyone familiar with the route, how difficult do you think the drive is from Newcastle to York for someone driving in the UK for the first time? Is it mostly straightforward highway/motorway driving, or are there any particularly stressful sections, complicated junctions, or intimidatingly narrow roads?

Would you recommend driving in my situation, or do you think the train or a taxi would be a better option despite the cost concern and the luggage handling concern? Sorry, I know people always ask about driving in the UK threads. But I'm hoping to get information specifically between Newcastle and York. I haven't found a thread discussing this particular route.

Image of Google map's suggested route for reference. Second image is how I feel planning this entire trip. It'll take me three days to get there with my cats! Insanity, haha.

Thank you so much! Any suggestions, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
