Meeting people in York, answered
How do I meet people in York?
Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. A free walking tour is the easiest way to meet other travellers. This week there's also Sunday open mic at The Hop.
Can I go on my own?
Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.
I've just moved to York. Where do I start?
Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to York plans your first month, one week at a time.
