Description

Treasurer's House, York tucked behind York Minster, Treasurer’s House is not as it first appears. In 1897 it was bought by Frank Green, the grandson of a wealthy industrialist, and by 1900 he had transformed it at great speed into an elaborately decorated town house, ready for the visit of Edward VII. Join a tour to hear about Frank Green’s life and find out how he saved Treasurer’s House and changed it into the grand show home we see today.

Alternatively see the historic rooms dressed for Christmas around the festive period. The award-winning garden is an oasis of calm, offering unrivalled views of York Minster, making it an ideal place to relax or head downstairs to the cafe. Just around the corner is the large high street shop for a wide range of National Trust inspired products.

Prices starts from £13.20 for adults, £6.60 for Child and £19.80 for Family. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
