Major International Press Coverage for York in Harper’s Bazaar US

Visit York has supported the delivery of a bespoke itinerary for a high-profile VisitBritain press trip, helping secure major international coverage for the city in Harper’s Bazaar US. Coordinated by Visit York, the visit formed part of a wider North Yorkshire itinerary designed to highlight the region’s celebrated period-drama filming locations. 

During her time in the city, journalist Chelsey Sanchez explored key heritage sites using the Visit York Pass, enabling flexible and seamless access across multiple attractions. 

The tailored itinerary showcased the city’s rich cultural backdrop, including York Minster and Holy Trinity Church, before extending to Castle Howard for a seasonal event and garden exploration. Visit York worked closely with attraction partners, including liaison with No.1 GuestHouse on accommodation, to ensure the visit ran smoothly, and collaborated with VisitBritain throughout planning to align the experience with the feature’s period-drama theme.

The resulting article — Where to Go, Stay, and Relax in England as a Period-Drama Lover — highlights York’s heritage, atmosphere and cinematic appeal for an international audience. By facilitating this visit and supporting the final coverage, Visit York continues to champion the city’s cultural strengths and elevate York’s profile across key overseas markets, driving future visitation and supporting the wider visitor economy.
