Get on your bike for a celebration of cycling at our Eco Wheels event!
5th April: 11am – 3pm
Some of the UK’s most innovative cycling companies, including Evans Cycles, Urban Cycles Skills and many more, will be on hand demonstrating all the latest bikes to suit every style and budget, including both traditional and electric cycles. It’s a perfect opportunity for anyone wanting to take the pedalling plunge to road test bikes and get some expert advice.
Cycle enthusiasts can put their pedal power to the test in a live workshop and Alexander Cars will be bringing along an incredible eco car of the future to demonstrate the future of four wheeled eco travel.
For beginners, Urban Cycle Skills will be talking about their tuition courses to help people get started and First York will be giving out information on bus routes for those looking to get out and about exploring this spring!
‘Get Cycling’ are providing activities including the pedal powered ‘Smoothie Maker’ where you can generate the power to create a delicious, healthy smoothie of your choice!
The ‘Bike Doctor’ will also be on hand providing safety checks, minor repairs and servicing by experienced and qualified bike mechanics.

We are super excited to invite families to Monks Cross on Saturday 31st March between 11am and 4pm!
Children can come and create their own craft bunny ears and Easter basket before hopping off on an egg trail around the centre to collect chocolate goodies!
The retailers here at Monks Cross have been busy over the last few weeks creating their very own Easter eggs and it is these that you will be looking for on your trail! There will be a clue map though to keep you on track. Every time you find one of their decorated eggs there will be chocolate treats to pick up!
Minster FM and Minster Monster will be here on the day between 12pm and 1pm too so look out for them! They might even be running their very own competition on Facebook live so keep your eyes peeled on their Facebook page on the day!
In addition to all of this Easter fun, there will some crazy, interactive Science activities to get involved with between 11am and 1pm in the information centre!
We cannot wait to see you there!
Spring fashion has officially sprung! Although the weather has been frosty over the past few weeks, it’s definitely starting to pick up. The elves have been taken down off the shelves and replaced with Easter eggs, so we thought we’d release our inner Gok Wan and give you a little spring style inspiration.
Give Winter The Boot.
The sun is peeping through the clouds but that doesn’t mean it’s time to break out the flip-flops.
But it also doesn’t mean the only shoes you can wear are your clumpy winter boots because let’s face it, they’ve probably taken a beating in the latest weather.
So we’ve had a little browse around Schuh and we were speechless. All we can say is they’ve really pulled out all the stops this year. From Kim K styled ankle boots to flower power doc martins, their spring shoe collection is stunning. They have something for everyone, for the simmered stylist to the full blown fashion icons, you’ll 100% find the shoe for you.
Bag it.
An outfit is all about the accessories and this spring, we’re all about pops of colour and florals! Bright greens, yellows and pinks are definitely on the seasonal menu. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we stepped into New Look and saw the array of colours surrounding us!
From stylish back packs to WAG bags and clutches, there’s a bag to fit every occasion just in store for you.
Get your coat…
We know it’s spring but we’re still in York, so lets face it, it’s still going to be chilly – they don’t call it April showers for nothing! But that doesn’t mean you’ve got to trek about in a big parka all the time, H&M’s men’s jacket range is amazing. From sleek going out jackets, to casual day to day, their collection is perfect for any man with any price range!
Seasonal Skirts
It’s time to whip out your skirts girls, because we’re all about flowers and frills in the spring.
Topshop’s collection is perfect for a quick photo opp in the street – whether you prefer a fitted mini skirt or you want to channel your inner princess in a long flowy maxi, we’ve got you covered.
