29 November 2019 - St Clements Club, Count de Burgh Terace, York YO23 1HH - 7pm

Join us for an evening of fun and frolics as we enjoy racing pigs (battery operated, not real), enjoy a pie and peas supper and raise funds for the Lord Mayor's Charities - Citizens Advice York, Homestart York and York Shakespeare Project.

This is a hilariously funny evening which has been very popular when run for previous Lord Mayors, so please buy your tickets quickly to avoid disappointment.Tickets £12 to include supper and pig sponsorship. Choice of 3 types of pie (steak and ale; chicken, bacon and sweetcorn; cheese and onion) - please select your choice when booking.

Join us for our Lush Charity Pot weekend! Pop in to the store and say hello to our staff. A range of charity pots will be available to purchase with all proceeds going to Home-Start York. (Perfect for a bit of Christmas shopping!)

We are very lucky to be able to offer an exclusive experience for a small number of discerning customers - a combination of some of the best food and drink in the city. York Gin, who hand make award winning gins in the city, along with the Star Inn the City, one of York's finest restaurants, invite you to sample their first class products at this very special event.

You will sample gins fresh from winning prizes at this year's San Francisco World Spirits Competition with a selection of quality tonics and botanicals. Alongside this you will enjoy fine canapes made by the Star Inn's renowned chefs from the best seasonal Yorkshire produce.

This event will be in the delighful private dining room upstairs in the old Lendal Engine House. It is up about 15 stairs, however all facilities can be found close by without going downstairs to the public restaurant. Canapes will be made from the best meat, fish and vegetables according to the season. Customers can request vegetarian-only choices - please select the relevant ticket so the chefs know to make enough veggie canapes.

Tickets are £40 per person, for which you will enjoy the highest quality food and drink, a very special environment and very good company. I hope you will join us.

Since medieval times, it has been traditional for there to be an 'assize' of the city's public houses every year to make sure unscrupulous landlords don't cheat on quantity or price - and to check that their ale is drinkable.

This year the assize is to take place on the 19th October and will start with the Sheriff reading a declaration outside the Mansion House at 2pm. Participants will be divided into the 3 teams and each will head off into York’s city centre on 3 separate routes visiting a wide cross section of traditional and contemporary pubs.

Wearing medieval costume is optional but greatly encouraged. Costume hire businesses will give a 10% discount on presentation of your ticket for this event.

Taking part in the pub visits is free, but guests are encouraged to purchase a ticket for £12 which entitles them to a dining experience in Stonegate Yard from 5.30pm and includes a donation to the charities.

Join us for the Table Tots nearly new sale at Energise, York.
