Trail Sponsors

Middletons Hotel has always been a huge supporter of the annual York Ice Trail, so when Make It York announced the Snooks Trail 2024, it was an event we were keen to be involved in. Not only is it an exciting new experience that’s accessible to all, but it’s an opportunity to encourage visitors into the city while also supporting St Leonard’s Hospice - a charity very close to our hearts.

We are ecstatic to continue to support both St. Leonard's and Make it York, and eagerly participate in the Snook's Trail—an exuberant celebration of York's heritage. As proud sponsors, we can’t wait to embrace the spirit of this remarkable trail and experience the wonders it has to offer.
