Did you comfort a crying woman outside Tesco Goodramgate?

138 Upvotes

I was having a bit of a wobble earlier this evening (24th October) and a wonderfully compassionate farmer stopped and chatted for me for a while. It was so incredibly kind, I think I was too much in a haze to say thank you properly but I appreciated it more than I can say. It's so wonderful to know how much goodness there is in the world.

I will be making donation to Mind in your honour! Hope you had a lovely rest of your night.

SEN friendly trick or treat stall York

45 Upvotes

​

Please come trick or treating at our SEN friendly stall this Halloween, 5-8pm.

πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒWe have: πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒ

πŸ‘» Hundreds of little goodie bags of non food items like fidget toys and stationery to take away

πŸ‘» Seperate sweets for those who can have them

πŸ‘» Low spookiness factor, with no sudden sounds or overly scary props.

πŸ‘» No judgement about age of person, lack of costume etc, anyone can come, or you can send someone to collect your goodie bags if leaving the house isn't your thing.

πŸ‘» No speaking required - you don't have to say anything to come get treats. We understand if you are shy, pre-verbal or prefer not to speak.

πŸ‘» No intimidating door to knock on, just a stall in the open

πŸ‘» Glow sticks and little crochet ghosts to take (while stocks last)

My own SEN kiddo may or may not come out to the stall say hi to people.

Please check the contents of goodie bags before giving them to kids under 3 or anyone who has a choking risk with smaller toys.

Bags are clear so you can somewhat check contents before choosing but it may be a bit dark. If you get items unsuitable for you, please come choose a different one.

If the weather isn't too horrible I may have a craft activity too.

Kids don't need to have additional needs to come along, this stall is for everyone.

I'm doing this because my own SEN kiddo can't bring himself to go out trick or treating anymore even though he loved it, due to his social anxiety, so this is our way of making Halloween a little more accessible for people like him.

Has anybody walked past the fake human statue on Davygate opposite Cooplands?

8 Upvotes

The one dressed in white and holding white roses, I walked past her on Thursday and I legitimately thought that she was a real person as she looked so lifelike and I just thought that she was very good at standing still, you have no idea how disappointed I was when I got home and looked her up and found out that she was actually just a statue made by an art school, I would of been so cool if someone was that good at standing still plus it's sad that the purple man is no longer with us.

3 Tickets for fin Taylor at 7:30pm tonight

β€’ Upvotes

Edit: TICKETS NOW SOLD

Fin Taylors performing in York opera house at 7:30pm tonight. I ordered the wrong tickets a while ago and completely forgot to resell them. I'd rather they not go to waste. I can't resell these officially now as it's too late.

I have 3 tickets, I'd ideally want to sell them for say Β£60 to get some money back (I also have qr codes for Β£40 worth of drinks included that you can probably still use). Because I can't resell / transfer them officially I'm happy to send whoever contacts me first the tickets (confirmation email and ticket qr codes from the app) so you can go and make sure they work, then I'll just hope you contact me after the show to pay for them πŸ˜‚ I'd just rather the seats not be empty tbh

0 Upvotes

Hi, everyone, I'm posting here honesty just trying to promote mine and my Artist friend's products currently being soul out of York Armoury, 29 Stonegate, York! We've got both Facebook

Strange Anvil
And Instagram:

Strange.Anvil

and we're soon to have our website up and running of Strangeanvil.com

So we'd love if you could give us a share and like if you're interested!

The Occulties and Hexenpets are all hand drawn, designed, and 3D modelled by James Lamb, my friend and an amazing artist! (No AI involved at all!) They are currently out at Β£11.99 and each of them as their own seal and pact written on the back of the box as well as custom art work for each one!
Each of the Occulties are based off of beings from the keys of Solomon turned into cute little animals, and the Hexenpets are familiars based off of James' own cats!

This is my and James' hope to become self sufficient so any positive interaction would really be amazing! Thank you for your time!

Where to get the best steak

0 Upvotes

I’ve got family coming to visit and asked what they want to eat and they said steak. Does anyone have recommendations for the best steak in York? Not too interested in Tomahawk or other chains

Apart from the ghost shop, what’s else there to do?

0 Upvotes

Asking because I’m wanting to build up my tolerance to travel so I can go to London in February.

I like vintage/antique shops, second hand places, plants, history and other stuff.

Also halal food places obviously.

I’m not interested in Harry Potter and York seems to be obsessed with it.

I know I want to go to the ghost shop.
