Have visited the Minster before but as we were staying in Beverley for a few days we had the opportunity to spend longer exploring this wonderful building and its many artifacts. We were lucky to also manage to get tickets to visit the roof of the building where you can see how the it was constructed and its early and more recent areas of renovation. Our guides on the roof tour were Graham and Sue and they were splendid. There was nothing that they didn't know about this building and spent over an hour ensuring that we all had the opportunity to take photographs and ask as many questions as we liked. They were also a hysterical double act!! We could wax lyrical about the Minster itself but there really is only one way to appreciate it and that is to come and see it for yourselves. It has everything you could ask for including great historical items such as the tomb of Henry Percy and great relics including the grave of St John of York. The Guides in the Minster are super too as they point out all the things that you would miss if you were not aware such as the carved Head of Edward I and his wife the stone musicians and the upside down archer. A real delight! No admission, only donation, which is unusual these days, guides that truly are enthusiastic about your visit and a great little shop too. If you're in the area don't miss it!!

I have seen several productions here and each one has been fantastic. You are so close to the action. In the case of A Steady Rain I was very close to the stage. Intense and captivating.

Beverley's first independent Escape Room! You and your team are locked in: can you solve the clues and escape in 60 minutes?
Reviewed By Hcafcberry - Beverley, United Kingdom
Having previously attempted the autopsy room and thoroughly enjoyed it, a group of friends and I thought we would have another go this time we 'went down the rabbit hole'. What a great experience! Very well designed and excellent props. A great challenge but the very helpful staff are always on hand to give a little hint or tip if needed. Hugely recommend to anyone up for a good laugh, a challenge or a team building exercise. We're already planning another visit to attempt the 'Yorkshire Express' room.

I can not recommend Beverley Breakout Escape Rooms highly enough!! I decided that I wanted to make the most of our last few evening before the new restrictions came into place and Fran bent over backwards to accommodate my booking. We did the toy room with my 2 girls (aged 11 and 7) and the whole family loved it!! It was the right balance of challenging for the adults and entertaining for the kids. An absolutely brilliant evening, thank you

9. Beverley Racecourse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 425 reviews
A visit to Beverley Racecourse is a seriously good day out, a fact that the people of Beverley have been quite rightly proud of for over 300 years. Set in the stunning surroundings of The Westwood, the racecourse hosts horse racing between April and September every year. We have 19 race meetings in total, 11 of which feature extra entertainment and fun, from the family-themed May Day with a petting zoo and funfair rides to the glamour of Ladies' Day. For the racing fan, our Very British Raceday in June with its two feature races for the country's best two-year-old horses sees them battle it out in a fast and furious contest up our infamous uphill 5 furlong sprint (a furlong being about 660 feet for the as-yet uninititated.) There's always a warm welcome at Beverley, and whether you prefer to bring the family with a picnic and a rug or your friends for an afternoon of fun and catching up, you'll find lots of like-minded people enjoying the day and the excitement of watching your horse thundering home. Tickets in advance are much the cheapest way to visit and can be bought via our website, along with lots more information about all of our racedays. Let us show you how much fun an afternoon at the races can be! 2017 Fixtures At A Glance Weds 19 April The White Rabbit in Easterland Raceday Thurs 27 April Afternoon Racing Mon 01 May May Day Raceday Tues 16 May Afternoon Racing Wed 31 May Half Term Raceday Sat 10 June A Very British Raceday Tues 20 June 70s Racenight Feat: Bus Stop Tues 27 June Afternoon Racing Fri 07 July Party on the Pasture Racenight Sat 08 July The Big Saturday Raceday Tues 18 July Afternoon Racing Mon 24 July Carnival Racenight Tues 01 Aug Roll Up, Roll Up Raceday Weds 16 Aug Flemingate Ladies' Day Thurs 17 Aug Afternoon Racing Feat: The Camel Derby Sun 27 Aug A Sunday Hop Sat 02 Sep Totepool Beverley Bullet Raceday Weds 20 Sept Afternoon Racing Tues 26 Sept Season Closer

This 15th century structure is the last surviving brick built defensive gate surviving in the UK. It’s a major feature in Beverley, not least because of its impact on traffic in the town. It’s an iconic reminder of our less secure past and well seeing.
