A short guide to a weekend in York

As it was recently my birthday, I decided to go on a short weekend break to York. The city is a beautiful place and I had a lovely time in its scenic surroundings. Here is my short guide to a weekend break, full of romantic settings and reasonably priced tea.

Yorkshire is Europe’s Leading Destination

Here in Yorkshire we've often thought "why bother with the hustle and bustle of grey London, when you can stick to the pubs and parks of glorious Yorkshire?" Now it seems the rest of Europe agrees, as Yorkshire has been awarded the title of Europe’s Leading Destination 2013, beating London, Berlin and Madrid to the title.

The People of Yorkshire

Here in God's Own Country we're immensely proud of our culture. The food, the countryside, the architecture, the art: just a few of the reasons living in Yorkshire is blooming great. Of course none of this would be possible without the people. 

Here at Wireless we want to pay tribute to a few of the more eccentric inhabitants of our fair land.

Must Visits in Leeds

If you're new to Leeds it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the city has to offer. Because we're proper lovely here at Wireless Magazine, here's some recommendations to help you get to grips with your new surroundings.

Record number of cats abandoned in Yorkshire

As the brief glimpse of summer fades and the weather returns to its usual gloom, remember to spare a thought for the helpless cats and kittens throughout Yorkshire. Sure it sucks that you've had to fork out £7.99 for a bottle of sun-cream you only got to use three times, but  at least you have a home to go to at the end of the day, unlike these poor adorable bastards.

What happened to The Kaiser Chiefs?

The Kaiser Chiefs are one of those bands that shot to fame during the blossoming indie scene in the mid noughties, before inexplicably disappearing into an abyss. Whether they were predicting a riot or singing “Ruby, ruby, ruby ruby- aha-aha-ahhhh”, for about two and a half years, the chiefs' ruled the airways.

Happy Yorkshire Day!

WORDS: Khia Reynolds

As every true Yorkshire person will already know, today is Yorkshire Day, a day to celebrate everything good about ‘God’s own county’. It was first celebrated in 1975, as a protest against a government re-organisation which meant those Lancashire bastards stole some of our beloved Yorkshire.
