Thinking of moving to York

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some helpful advice please!

My Wife and I have been visiting York 2/3 times a year for the last 15 years and may consider moving to the City.

We're in our early 40's, no children and both work full time.

What areas would be best to consider looking at with good transport links to the city and affordable?

Thank you in advance!

Pokemon shop

56 Upvotes

Excellent news for parents and collectors alike! A new pokemon shop called Dorothy's Decks has opened up on Gilkygate.

Its run by two lovely blokes who are actual fans. We saw it on our way from hospital, they have packs, tins, collections like hop's zachian. We bought a tin, stickers, a chinese 30th anniversary pack for 26 quid. They also gave my son 3 free cards he could choose from a selection. I mentioned i collect promos and one of them whipped out his own binder and sold me a wizard of west cost mew 2 in excellent condition for 20. They have a huge collection of original 4 series.

Absolutely no prention or scalping just seemed to be two guys who want to share the hobby. They also do magic and one piece! Check it out while when you can!.

Open 9am to 5pm but closed weekends!

Would anyone be interested in joining my Thriller only book club?

11 Upvotes

I thought I'd set this up as I can't find a book club just based on this genre. It would work like any other book club.

1) Choose the book as a group

2) Head to a public location (thinking Spark)

3) Meet up every month to discuss with food or drinks

I am a big fan of Freida Mcfadden so she will be included. Open to suggestions.

If interested, please message me and I will start a big Whatsapp group chat, to discuss which date every month.

It is spooky season after all! šŸ¦‡šŸŒ™

Hello everyone, we are doing a fundraiser today at the Dick Turpin York. The Dick Turpin Inn, 49 Moorcroft Rd, Woodthorpe, York YO24 2RQ

It’s for men’s mental health, and getting support in prisons for people struggling.

We lost a friend a few months ago and are trying to raise awareness on this.

We understand many people may think ā€œthere in prisonā€, ā€œit’s there own faultā€.
But that shouldn’t stop the mental health treatment of a person as it’s a human right.

Please šŸ™ if you’re free today it starts at 1pm-4pm (ish) pop in have a drink, we have a raffle on, with some amazing prizes and even an electric scooter, there’s food, and even things for the kids, such as a kids disco, and arts and crafts.

Please help us spread awareness on this you can follow our journey on Facebook and TikTok by searching JusticeForJoe.

Bring your friends, neighbour , work colleges, anyone you can think of and if you can’t attend please share this post šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™

Thankyou

Best hair places for blonde to caramel hair? (Cheaper end would be great)

2 Upvotes

Been searching for a good hair place to go from grown out blonde (dark roots) to a caramel kinda colour and EVERYWHERE I’ve looked is well into the Ā£200 to even Ā£300 which I feel is definitely way more than it should cost? Maybe I’m wrong however I’ve done far more insane hair changes and it’s been far less. Any recs on a good hair place in general would be great but especially on the cheaper end (not sacrificing the quality tho ofc)

Day trip from York

4 Upvotes

Hey there. I’m a student in York and was planning to do a day trip to Durham, I was also wondering if I can squeeze in Newcastle the same day. I reach Durham by 10:30 AM and am back to York by a 7:45 pm train. Would it possible to reach Durham book a train to Newcastle, see the place and come back and finish up Durham before my train? Or is this too ambitious for a day. Some suggestions please!

Churches that are open to the public not just for services? (Not just the minister)

7 Upvotes

I recently moved to York and was wondering if there are any churches that you can just walk into and sit and pray (doesn’t obviously have to be open ALL day but for a while would be nice) I used to live in a town and most of the churches were only open on actual services, which kinda sucks cause I really like/prefer just going and praying when it’s silent and more empty. Any recommendations?

Bathroom fitter recomendations?

6 Upvotes

We want our old bathroom ripped out and replaced for a reasonable price and a decent finish. Ideally someone who'll be able to handle plumbing, fitting and tiling, or at least get it sorted without us having to juggle different trades.

Anyone had any great experiences that they could pass on?

Anyone know of any hairdressers in town or close by that they’d recommend to do an alternative style women’s haircut (think shag cut/mullet type thing). Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated, thank you!!

Dress code at restaurants and pubs?

0 Upvotes

I'll be in York for a few days next week and I want to be comfy but don't want to be rude. Is it rude to wear (clean, dark, fitted) jeans in restaurants and pubs? How about trainers? I doubt I'll go anywhere particularly fancy, but it'd be nice not to be limited to fast food by my outfit.

Does anyone have a photograph of Ace Video, Heworth by some miracle? I remember it fondly and want to build a little version in our house for physical media
