York for Europe

Celebrating the European city of York

York for Europe's Mission 

We maintain that the UK, having left the EU, will have its best interests served by retaining a close as possible relationship with the EU, its peoples and its cultures. This site will serve as a bulletin board, a village pump, and information and interest exchange. The aim of this site it to keep alive our already close ties with the countries of Europe which, we maintain, were more easily facilitated when the UK was a member of the EU. We will also share any difficulties that arise from terminating membership and solutions to problems where they exist. Also, we will share advantages of leaving the union should they arise...

Our fight continues....
We are standing up for European rights, standards and values in the UK”

The Rejoin activity in York
~ March 23rd 2024

24th Marchrejoin image

A great meeting of old friends with the folk of York in Bishopthorpe Road shopping centre. A bit nippy and windy, but at least the sun shone on us...

We shared information on Erasmus and Musicians, encourage people to join the European Movement, and handed out leaflets on our city walk “York in Europe, Europe in York".  We were joined by some colleagues from North Yorkshire for Europe.
