Plan the end of a wall walk
If your group explores the walls before the gathering, set a finish point and regrouping window. Check the chosen route for everyone's mobility needs rather than assuming an elevated walkway suits the whole party.

York / A PLACE TO START
What would you
like to serve?
Choose a starting style. Add the date, guests and details on the next screen before sending.
York / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
City of York Council describes an elevated wall walkway around the centre, with historic gateways forming part of the city's landscape. The walls are a visitor route, not a substitute for the venue's supplier-access directions.
Ask for the service entrance inside the centre
For a historic central venue, give suppliers the actual unloading approach, entrance and room. Confirm steps, lifts and carrying distances before deciding how food and equipment will be brought in.
Keep public heritage and event space separate
If your plans extend beyond the booked premises, ask the relevant host or land manager what is possible. Agree a complete indoor food-service layout at your venue before adding an outdoor element.
The same event, clearly described.
Give the date, approximate guests, total budget, venue type and service window. Keep names, contact details, exact private addresses and named health information out of the shared brief.
