Hi everyone, I am a self taught forager looking to expand her knowledge!

I am looking for foraging courses around York and Leeds, preferably with a focus on mushrooms.

Does anybody have any recommendations? I know it’s a bit late in the season, so I’m also open to taking spring foraging courses to gather spring mushrooms :)

They used to have a rota, take it in turns to be the one open all night. You might have to drive out to Acomb or Poppleton or somewhere but there WOULD be a pharmacy open somewhere.

Tried looking tonight and Google was of course only serving me "Sponsored Links" plus a couple of places that had just never uploaded their opening hours. But the NHS site showed the closest one to me as being in Hull and the next closest as Manchester Airport

Please could you let me know best gyms in the York, ideally in the centre? But open to hearing about other areas as well.

My aim is weight gain!

Did wonder if there are gyms that offer everything: PT, Pilates and Yoga too!

If you do know the membership prices, can you please let know too?

Thank you!!

Any live music or karaoke, coming down from scotland with my partner this Wednesday coming for 2 nights, any other pubs bars worth going we like to drink 🍺

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help. My sister (24F) has been suffering badly with acne all over her face. Shes been to the doctors multiple times and each time they prescribe something that doesn't work or effects don't last. As a last resort we are looking for an absolute professional, the best of the best that can help finally rid the acne for good!

Background on my sister, she doesn't drink or smoke, she eats very healthy and exercises regularly, she washes her face with la Roche posay and moisturises with Bioderma and absolutely nothing else goes on her skin. Benzol peroxide causes reactions with her skin. She'd like to avoid roacutane although this has never been prescribed to her.

Thanks so much

Apologies as I really don’t want to be that person. I’m still relatively new to living in York so just genuine question with how long to expect fireworks to go on for. Are they likely to continue daily up to Bonfire night and potentially after? (not sure if any events are scheduled etc) At the moment it’s daily, and we’ve had a couple in Acomb go off in the afternoon for the past few days. Medicating my senior dog is a bit impossible with how unpredictable it is. Thank you all in advance!

(also if anyone has any tips with how they handle fireworks with their pets any advice is much appreciated!)

Delete if not allowed…I have an old oil tank, two actually, and I know one for sure is full. I need someone that can come pump out the oil. They are located in the crawl space of my basement. The full one is the first one in the photo.

Hey everyone🩷 I'm 24, looking to meet genuine friends of similar ages. I've been living in York for 5 years and don't have any friends here. I only have one friend, but we rarely see each other due to distance. I live with my lovely boyfriend, but I struggle with the loneliness when he's not about. Really in need of some girl friends!

About me😊 I play Pokémon Go daily, and I love to go on walks wherever there are animals to take photos. Places like zoos, aquariums, cat cafes and parks. I love watching TV shows and YouTube, and listening to music (knocked loose, motionless in white, architects). I love art ~ photography, tattoos, modern art galleries. I'm trying to get into digital art more but I'm a complete beginner. I have a PC but I'm pretty new, so I only play stardew valley at the moment (but I love games like world of warcraft, overwatch and fall guys - I just need to learn how to play them😂). I recently went mini golfing for the first time and would love to do more fun stuff like that! Things like rock climbing and swimming sound cool. I'm also trying to go to the gym. I'm not a big alcohol person, but I'm not opposed to a cider here and there (I do love spoons). I also have pet shrimps!🦐

My work hours are long, and I work different days/times every week. If my responses are slow this is why🩷 My go to texting apps are discord and snapchat (also very active on instagram). If you have a cat, please send cat pics!

Hello, Currently supporting somebody and looking to help them branch out and grow their social groups within York. Firstly, please can anyone send any servers to any York based discords that are more open for him to explore online at first. Secondly, any social groups such as gaming or art based group anyone is aware of would be also helpful. Thank you!

Planning to try as many new food as possible in York whilst I'm still on my half term break, leave some suggestions!

PS. I've pretty much cleared most of the stalls at shambles and the surrounding area, so I'm looking for any smaller niche restaurants that are providing any unique food experiences

After a traumatising experience with the NHS I've been told to get the help I need, I need to go private no idea how I'm going to finance this but oh well my fault for being mentally ill I guess

Anyway I'm looking for a psychiatrist who specialises in mood disorders / personality disorders / has experience with BPD and DBT therapy if anyone has any recommendations or ideas of how to find good reputable therapists / psychiatrsts I'd love to know thanks

Hi all, I haven't seen any threads about the little york ghost hunt and as its finishing tonight I thought I'd ask if anyone has had any luck?! There are so many hunters that I've been shocked hearing that people I've walked past have found 2 or more when anyone would be incredibly lucky to find one!

Anyway, for those who have found either a little ghost or a seed ghosts, I'm super interested- what colour is it, does it have coloured eyes, and where did you find it? I saw on the ghost merchants' instagram that people have found pink ones and bright orange ones which is so cool, I'm intrigued to know what other colours and patterns people have found and how difficult it was! :)

Looking for recommendations on a quality local garage either around James St or east York. Just been quoted what sounds like a silly amount to replace lower suspension arm bushes (they replace the arms while they are there) from main dealer. Lexus/toyota parts.

TIA

I have x2 Row E seats for Mo Gillighan at York Barbican on 7th Nov.

Theyre on Ticketmaster, would rather transfer over selling to avoid someone else paying more than I did

£60 for the pair

Let me know if you'd like to purchase!

Update - Sold!

How is your experience giving birth there? I will get induced and Idk how it works, I guess since they give me some medicine I’ll have to stay there but I would like to have a room with bathtub, is it possible? Was your birth plan followed?

Hey all anyone know of any decent local plumbers ??

Need a few names so I can get a few quotes on a boiler service and a radiator replacement.

Last plumbers I called gave me a quote of £398 + Vat. Not sure if that’s a normal number or not so wanted to call up a few others.

Thanks

I was walking back home from the station around 7 and saw even more people than usual between the Minster and Monkbar, all holding flashlights and doing some sort of activity. Does anyone know what was going on today? Looked really fun!

Hello, I'm trying to find a cool, interesting or quirky meeting space to hire for my work awayday with about 10 people. Would like it to be more interesting than a standard hotel meeting room. Fairly central would be ideal for people travelling but would like them to get a feel for York. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Best for houseplants. Only ever been to Dean's myself.

I need to put my 9 year old cat into a cattery for a long weekend late January, seeking recommendations for somewhere which is friendly and actually cares about their cat clients. Ideally central York if possible - does anyone have good/bad news about the Foxgloves Bishopthorpe one, for example? Thanks in advance!

I went to Bishopthorpe's one year and it was great, marquee with drinks and a pizza stand but the fireworks were average. The larger ones seem to be super busy- are there any great but reasonably not as well known displays?

I'm thinking little Italy, I am sure love cheese has some. Where to get so salami and more?

I'm sorry if this subreddit is not the appropriate place to ask, but I referred myself to counselling with Survive. Does anyone have any experience with Survive? Especially if you're a student and/or a male survivor. Women and non-student survivors are still just as welcome to share.

I'm in town for the next few hours, anyone know where would sell a nice barometer fit for a present?

As the title says i want to book a court there as i live 5 mins walk away but the website isnt allowing me to book it and says “access denied”. First it told me to create a LTA account to log in, i did but even after that it’s not letting me do that. I just wanna play some tennis :/ Can anyone help me with that?
