Location
York is the traditional county town of Yorkshire and has a rich heritage with many sites of interest. York's centre is enclosed by the city's medieval walls and the medieval streets are lined with shops, boutiques and tea rooms. Some of York's tourist attractions include York Minster, the Shambles and Clifford's Tower by which the Hilton York is located.
The A64 road provides the principal link to the motorway network, linking York to both the A1 and the M1. There are several park and ride sites that operate in York that are easily accessed from the ring road and allow visitors to complete their journey into town by bus.
The following companies will be attending the Issyboo Baby & Toddler Fair at The Hilton York:

 | Baby signing uses simple signs and gestures with pre-verbal children, helping them to understand and communicate before they can talk. Tiny Talk run fun filled baby classes (0-2yrs) where signs are learnt through well-known nursery rhymes and action songs. At our toddler classes (18m-3yrs) we focus on language development, backed up by signing, and songs are supplemented by more energetic activities like parachute play! All classes include social time to allow additional support and for children and adults alike to get to know each other. |

 | Baby Sensory provides hundreds of sensory development activities that are great fun for parents and babies to share in the vital first year. The activities aim to build up a vocabulary of sensory experiences (e.g. visual, auditory and tactile), to enhance physical contact (massage, reflexology, touching, cuddling and rocking) and to promote the development of speech through the use of sign language, music, song and puppets. Classes are designed for babies from birth to 13 months. |
