York is a city that feels like stepping into a storybook. With its cobbled streets, historic architecture, and independent cafes tucked around every corner, it’s the perfect backdrop for a little autumn adventure – especially if you’re coming for our RELR Stories, Steps & Sisterhood community event on 5th October.

Even though the event itself is just 2 hours, there’s so much to explore in York if you want to make a full day (or weekend) of it. Here’s our guide for millennial women looking to mix culture, coffee, and connection.

Morning: RELR Community Event 💛

This is the heart of your visit! Spend 2 hours with like-minded women in a soft, welcoming environment: coffee, brownies, conversations, confidence tips from a lifestyle coach, and a gentle walk around York to round off the event. Tickets are £25 with £20 of it redeemable on your next RELR order! Tickets can be purchased here.

Tip: Wear your favourite RELR pieces – comfy, confident, and ready for photos and new connections.

Afternoon: Culture & Strolling 🏰

After the event, why not explore a little more? York is full of culture and history:

• York Minster: Even a quick wander around this stunning cathedral is awe-inspiring.

• City Walls Walk: A gentle stroll with amazing views of the city and river.

• National Railway Museum: Perfect for those curious about history and iconic trains.

Take your time – part of York’s charm is wandering, discovering small shops, galleries, and independent bookshops tucked down hidden streets. Take a morning stroll along The Shambles, York’s iconic medieval street. Its crooked buildings and boutique shops make it feel magical, and it’s a calm way to ease into the day before the event.

Evening: Dinner & Wind-Down 🌙

Finish your day with dinner at one of York’s local favourites:

• Skosh: Small plates, big flavours – perfect for sharing with friends.

• The Star Inn The City: Riverside dining in a cosy yet elegant setting.

Or, if you’re still peckish after your walks, grab a dessert from one of the city’s patisseries and watch the sunset from Museum Gardens.

Make It Your Own Weekend

Even a short visit to York can feel like a mini escape. Pair the RELR Stories, Steps & Sisterhood event with a slow morning, cultural wanderings, and a relaxed evening, and you’ll have a full-day experience that blends connection, style, and adventure.

✨ Whether you’re local or visiting from afar, York invites you to step out of your routine and into a city full of charm, community, and cosy moments – the perfect setting for RELR’s first in-person gathering.
