1.Let's Go to Beverley for the Christmas FestivalWhy go now?
This historic market town,Beverley,does the festive season well,particularly on the second Sunday in December,when it holds its Festival of Christmas now in its 21st year.Its Victorian market has 120 handicrafts(手工艺品),gifts and food stalls(货摊).Stall-holders dress in period costume(服装),and there are rides and entertainment in streets decorated with fairy lights.
What else is there to do?
Beverley's minster(大教堂)was the inspiration for Westminster Abbey,but locals prefer St Mary's church.Founded in 1120,St Mary's church has beautifully carved and painted figures,including a rabbit which is said to have inspired the white rabbit in Alice Wonderland.A fun way to see the rest of the town,with its medieval gate and two marketplaces,is by following the Elwell Trail,22 paintings of local life by artists Fred and Mary Elwell.
Anywhere good to eat?
Run by brother and sister twins in a former court building,the Westwood restaurant does a generous two-course lunch for£19.95.The less formal Potting Shed pub,new this summer,is rather barn-like but the pizzas and burgers are the best.
How about a drink?
Loads of choice.Most famous is the White Horse,known far and wide as Nellie's,with benches probably as old as its gas lights.Real wine lovers rate (看好) the Chequers Micro pub,and the redecorated King's Head has added a great cocktail station.
Anywhere to stay under£100 a night?
Nice spots like Number One Beverley and the Game Bird pub are sold out for the festival.The Tudor Rose ( doubles from£85)is friendly,if in need of an update,and close to all the action.
