The Civic Party are hosting their annual Christmas Cheer Receptions this week, marking the start of the festive season for many.

The receptions, which are taking place at the Assembly Rooms on Wednesday 3 December from 10am, are for 400 elderly residents, aged over 65, who have been invited to join the Lord Mayor and Civic Party for some festive fun and entertainment.

Guests will be treated to morning and afternoon tea, and will be entertained by local school children, and also the gentlemen of the York Philharmonic Male Voice Choir.

The event has been funded once again through the generosity of local businesses, who have provided the much needed funds to allow the Lord Mayor to stage the event.
