A popular venue in York has closed for a summer makeover.

Spark:York, in Piccadilly, will remain closed to customers until Friday (April 17) as the street food hall shuts for all-important renovations.

The venue will remove its canvas roof top in anticipation of warmer, drier weather.

It added that numerous signs have been established to inform passers-by of the closure.

Tradespeople, it said, were on hand to take on electricity work, painting, joinery and deep cleaning.

Spark:York will re-open as normal at 5pm on April 17.

It comes as York Cocktail Week is launched across the city.

As reported in The Press, each participating venue will be offering up its own signature cocktail.

Spark:York at Boho has launched its own drink, Lemondrop, which is described as “crisp, citrus-forward and unapologetically refreshing”.

The drink brings together Dutch Barn Vodka from Ellers Farm near York, Triple Sec, fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup.
