Nightlife, culture and entertainment

|
|
There are healthy helpings of
live music, culture
and
nightlife
, much of it detailed in the local
Evening Press
(and on their useful website,
). Most bigger bands bypass the city in favour of Leeds, though the Barbican Centre pulls in its fair share of major mainstream artists, while the pub
music scene
flourishes. The annual
Early Music Festival
, held in July, is perhaps the best of its kind in Britain, with dozens of events spread over ten days - details are available on 01904/658338 or from the tourist offices. The famous
York Mystery Plays
are held every four years - next performances are in 2004. Other useful information
