The Snickelways Pub Crawl
Inspired by the 1983 book ‘A Walk around the Snickelways of York’ by Mark W. Jones, we’ve taken all the best bits of the route and combined them with great pubs to form an entertaining and informative pub crawl around York. A Snickelway for those who aren’t local is defined as “a narrow place to walk along, leading from somewhere to somewhere else, usually in a town or city, especially in the city of York”. All the Snickelways are marked in orange with their name. |

The Four Towers Challenge
The Four Towers Challenge follows York’s City walls with the aim to get all the way around before the walls close at sunset. Each pub is selected based upon its proximity to the City Walls and their access points. Due to the changing opening times of the walls depending on the time of year this pub crawl is best done in Summer. Ever year at the end of June to do this crawl as an annual event so we do a slightly different route each time to keep things interesting. The latest route is shown here for you to attempt at any time. You can read more about The Four Towers Challenge Event on the dedicated page here or maybe even plan to join us for the day? |

Haunted York Pub Crawl
As one of the most haunted Cities in the World York boasts a staggering amount of ghosts, many of which inhabit its old pubs and ancient streets. To explore and celebrate these hauntings we have put together a Pub Crawl which visits York's most haunted pubs while following a route around the City past some of its most notable hauntings. After visiting 8 spooky pubs maybe you'll experience the supernatural too, although we do advocate sensible drinking. We’ve marked out as many ghosts as we can on the map along the route and you can also download our Ghost Guide which give a bit of information about each ghost at the Pubs. |

The Alfresco Amble
The sun is out and the beer gardens are calling, so why not follow our alfresco tour based upon some of our favourite outdoor drinking areas. Always remember to stay hydrated but please drink responsibly. A more extensive list of our top 21 York Beer Gardens can be found here. |

The Luck Cat Ale Trail
A remnant of York’s medieval past are a selection of cat statues and sculpture that adorn buildings throughout the City which were originally supposed to scare off mice and rats that could carry plague. In recent years York Glass Ltd. on the Shambles has compiled all their locations with the popular Lucky Cat Trail, it looked such good fun that we thought we’d put together our very own Pub Crawl based around the locations of most of the cats. If you want more details on cat locations it might be worth printing a copy of their map as well. See if after a few pints you can still spot them all, happy hunting! |
