Shopping in York

Coney Street
Coney Street is one of York`s main shopping streets, where familiar high street retail names cater as much for locals as for tourists. Some of the buildings in the street are timber-framed structures.
York Market
York boasts the brightest and arguably best daily open market in the North. Newgate market has 120 stalls in a market square within Europe`s largest single pedestrianised area. Prominent since the Middle Ages, Newgate market is the heart and soul of the city lying between The Shambles and Parliament Street. The market offers something for everyone every day offering a wide variety of dried goods, fruit and vegetables, as well as a good selection of fresh fish and meat.
