The Cross Keys
The Cross Keys offers a traditional British pub experience in
the heart of historic York.
A short walk from College Street, Deangate, and
Bartlegarth, this wonderfully atmospheric pub is close to…
This city may be best known for its cobbled streets, historic pubs, and medieval charm, but this autumn it’s also shaping up to be a prime spot to catch every tackle, try, and triumphant roar of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in York. This year, England is hosting the tournament, with some games in their own stadiums too. Considering the team narrowly lost out to New Zealand in the final last time around, they'll definitely be after the title in 2029.
Whether you’re after a lively pub with screens on every wall, a cosy local with proper pints, or a stylish bar that pairs craft beer with big-match energy, the city has plenty of places ready to turn the tournament into a real occasion. Here’s where to soak up the action.
