A warm welcome awaits you in Yorkshire

Why not make a weekend of it and discover more of Yorkshire? Harewood House is just round the corner and is open to the public with the house, gardens, children’s play areas, bird gardens and much more to discover. Travel a little further and you can visit the spa town of Harrogate, the walled city of York and many more gems that Yorkshire has to offer.

Why not learn the language?

When you travel abroad, it’s nice to learn a few words and phrases in the native language, and a trip to Yorkshire should be no different. Learn the lingo and you’ll fit right in! Here are some top tips to talk like a Yorkshireman or Yorkshire Lass.

• Yorkshire people don’t drink fizzy drinks or soda, they drink pop. However if someone is ‘playing pop’ that means they are very angry with someone.
• If someone tells you to ‘put wood int hole’ they’re just telling you to close the door.
• If you’re feeling tired then you’re ‘jiggered’.
• Before twerk became a dance craze, it was where Yorkshire people went to earn a living.
• Feeling particularly pleased? Then tell everyone that you are ‘chuffed’.
• If someone offers you a ‘croggy’ then politely decline or you’ll find yourself balanced on the handlebars of a moving bicycle.
