Did you know York's got a women's centre offering showers, hot meals, and laundry to vulnerable women?

Rachael Maskell just toured it - supports women in the criminal justice system, experiencing homelessness, or struggling with addiction. Proper community stuff that doesn't get talked about enough.

🏛️ Museums are FREE today/tomorrow if you live in York (Residents' Festival)
❄️ Ice Trail is NEXT weekend (not this one) - 36 sculptures, completely free
🕺 There's a Michael Jackson tribute at the Barbican TONIGHT
🏺 A medieval shrine that was literally buried under York's streets for 500 years just came home:
