York has a very special independent retail and hospitality sector and Make It York is responsible for city centre management and the development of key areas of high public footfall, such as Shambles Market, which offers significant additional opportunities for development and expansion.

Our Christmas Market is regularly cited as one of the best in the UK, and we continue to develop and innovate a calendar of events for the city to ensure that we offer an inclusive and accessible range of events that inspire and excite diverse audiences all year round.
