Welcome to our pop-up Christmas shop!

York Against Cancer has opened a pop-up Christmas shop in the heart of the city centre thanks to the York Conservation Trust and their agents, Barry Crux & Co.

Trust Chief Executive Philip Thake and agent Rosie Crux knew the historic building, Sir Thomas Herbert’s House in Pavement, would be an ideal setting for our charity and offered it to general manager Julie Russell as a base to sell gifts and cards in the run-up to Christmas.

“It was perfect for York Against Cancer,” said Philip of the shop, formerly home to Jones Bootmakers. “You couldn’t get a better position, right opposite Marks & Spencer.”

“We’ve found a number of charity shops for York Against Cancer over the years, and this one could be the best yet,” said Rosie. “It looks amazing.”

Julie said we couldn’t thank Philip and Rosie enough for their kindness. “This is a fabulous shop and it’s already paying dividends – we opened at the weekend  and within the first two days we had already taken £1,100, which is fantastic.”

The pop-up shop sells only brand-new goods from ranges including Emma Bridgewater, Rachel Ellen and Emma Ball, and a great range of greetings cards including YAC’s famous York scenes.

The shop is open Wednesday-Saturday, 10am-5.30pm and Sunday 11am-4pm until Thursday December 21.
