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.
