Do you know your grocer’s from your greengrocer’s?

Hardware from haberdasher’s?

Confectioner’s from chemist’s? ……. ( hope so!)

Prepare for silliness, stories and urgent shopping as our Kirkgate characters and York Castle Museum celebrate the New Year with a brand new museum trail! Pick yours up at the ticket desk from 28^thDecember ….

Running throughout the day on 28, 30, 31 December 2023 and 2, 4, 6 January 2024

Two slightly madcap Victorian characters will be on Kirkgate at various times during the days on 28, 30, 31 December 2023 and 2, 4, 6 January 2024 to interact with each other and with the visitors. Short scenes take place, each concerning a story or a bit of fun about objects to be purchased from the shops of Kirkgate, all belonging within a brand new museum trail.
