York BID has erected the seating across the city, with the animals at places including Exhibition Square, Eye of York, Museum Gardens and Duncombe Place. There is also a new grass horse seat in a new seating area in Davygate.
Carl Alsop, Operations Manager at York BID, said: “The summer seating and grass animals have become a real favourite with locals and visitors.
“They add 400 additional places to sit in the city, lots of colour, character and even more fun to the city centre – plus they invite people to slow down and enjoy what York has to offer.”

In addition, York BID has also confirmed the return of the bumblebee friendly planters to sites across the city centre.
This project is part of York BID’s wider mission to enhance public spaces, support local businesses, and create a welcoming city for all.
Later this month, York BID will be announcing details of a brand-new family trail: Tommy Treebark’s Wild Adventure, featuring vibrant animal illustrations on benches across the city. It’s free, fun, and perfect for families, the BID adds.
