This is Y December 2020 Digital Edition

WELCOME
Now that we’ve exited the second national
lockdown and we’re all getting to grips with
Government guidelines and the tier system,
which will be regularly reviewed … it’s time
to deck the halls and attend any amazing
attractions that have opened their gates
and organised festive functions … probably
outdoors and definitely socially distanced.
The Business As Unusual and Winter
Wonderland pages inspire with ideas
for the season and there’s lots to look
forward to. Do check online though for
the very latest information on all that’s
happening across the region, as things
are changing all the time.
Welcome to Yorkshire’s #Walkshire campaign
is coming soon and will promote the county
as the ‘walking capital of the world’ with its
three national parks, breathtaking coastal
routes and city strolls full of heritage,
culture, food, drink and so much more.
As part of Welcome to Yorkshire’s tourism
recovery plan, working with the county’s
business and tourism representatives, to
reopen, recover and rebuild, we have lots
of exciting new initiatives, including My
Y personal membership which includes a
tree planted in Yorkshire for every member
and is an ideal gift. Remember a tree is for
life, not just for Christmas! Fantastic for the
environment and wildlife, as well as personal
health and well-being too.
‘Tis the season to be jolly supportive of
local businesses and you can purchase a
vast variety of perfect pressies and gorgeous
gifts from Yorkshire independent retailers
online at the Yorkshire Marketplace
yorkshire.com/yorkshire-marketplace
and Welcome to Yorkshire goodies at
shopyorkshire.com Yule be spoilt for
Yorkshire choice this Christmas!
