Fiona Laing: i weekend
“They say there is a bar for each day of the year in York. They come in all shapes and sizes and there is even a walking tour, which traces their history, some dating back to the 16th century. Keith Martin will share his passion for York’s oldest pubs in return for a donation to Keep Your Pet a charity which helps people keep their animals at difficult times”
