The Lord Mayor of York Coun John Galvin attends opening of York Minster's new shop


VIPs gathered in York to open the Minster’s new shop. The Lord Mayor of York Coun John Galvin, the Lady Mayoress and the Dean of York the Very Rev Keith Jones all attended the opening.

The new shop sits at the top of Minster Gates at number 10 and will be the Minster’s third shop. It has been launched due to the ongoing success of the two current shops – one inside the Minster, and one opposite the new shop.

To meet the demand of customers in the run up to Christmas, the new shop will sell only Christmas gifts until January, before selling similar gifts to the current shops.

Graeme Ward, manager of York Minster Shops, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to offer customers even more choice, especially in the run up to Christmas.

The new shop has a different feel entirely to the two current ones and has a much more modern design.

“We hope that our visitors and customers enjoy the extended range of goods we have brought in.”
