About

The York Nutcracker Trail runs from Thursday 13th November to Sunday 4th January.

This year's theme is a kid's takeover! Each nutcracker has been designed by a school-aged child from York and re-created by talented local artist, MarcoLooks. Find all ten and collect their names on your trail map to enter the prize draw for a £250 York Gift Card. that’s not all – by answering the bonus question, you could win an art hamper filled with goodies from the artist.

Pick up a leaflet from the Visitor Information Centre or visit York Nutcracker Trail - The York BID to get started.
