Twenty-one of the characters known as Snooks, will be hiding amongst the city’s cobbled streets and secret gardens for residents and visitors to find until April.

Sculptures have appeared throughout York City centre forming a character trail. Twenty-one of the characters known as Snooks, will be hiding amongst the city’s cobbled streets and secret gardens for residents and visitors to find until April.

The trail launched last Saturday with each character being sponsored by businesses or organisation based in York. It has been organised by Make It York, working with its charity partner St Leonard’s Hospice.

The Snooks have been designed by Sheffield-based artist Sian Ellis with each Snook unveiling a mystery letter that will form a password to unlock secret prizes on the Visit York website.
