You must visit Fairfax house whilst in York. It isnt expensive and under 16s go free, you can also get a 12 month pass for no extra charge. There are several rooms to see and they are all beautiful with lots to see in each. All the staff are really friendly and the room guides are so talkative and give you lots of information about the house. It took me around 45 mins to go round. Will definitely be going back for Christmas.

Kulturarv, der er smukt re-etableret som et levn fra “en anden tid”. Et hus der er fuld af historisk stilart og levevis for en velhavende far og datter. I rummene står der ansatte som fortæller historierne (hvis du vil) med en stor viden og engagement. Jeg er SÅ glad for at jeg valgte at besøge dette museum 🙏
