Let Bonfire Night go with a bang in the place where Guy Fawkes was born
Those looking for a truly sparkling Bonfire Night could do no better than a stay in the very property where Guy Fawkes was born.
Now one of York’s best regarded places to eat, drink and stay, the Guy Fawkes Inn, in the shadow of York Minster, is where the famed plotter was born in 1570 and lived for several years whilst attending the local St Peters’ School, still just a short walk from the inn.
Celebrate the 5th November with spectacular fireworks!
It is now managed by leisure & hospitality specialist company, Topaz Consulting who regularly welcome visitors from all over the world who are all keen to know more about the man famously associated with the gunpowder plot.
Andrew Hammond of Topaz said: “We know that Guy Fawkes was born in his grand-father’s cottage which forms the back section of the current building and that he was baptised in the St Michael-le-Belfrey church opposite, which is next door to the famous York Minster.
“We receive visitors from all over the UK and beyond who are all fascinated by the tale of the gunpowder plot but even more who are just keen to stay in such a well-preserved historical property.
“Having been developed over centuries the building has a number of quirky features which make it an interesting place to stay and we now even have a romantic suite in the belfry with its own mini-library and jacuzzi bath.
“As a result tourists from as far away as Japan and America regularly come to stay or just to enjoy a few pints of real ale.
“In the last 30 days alone we have received over 470 enquiries through iknow-yorkshire from people looking to stay and visit the place where Guy Fawkes was born.”
As well as its 13 rooms, each with en-suite, the Inn in York also offers timber floors, roaring log fires, up to nine real ales at any time and a delicious menu which includes Yorkshire favourites as well as Fawkes’ Fiery Sausages.
