We have booked a trip for September which will start in London and fly home from Edinburgh. We would really like to stop in York on the way to Edinburgh. And have now while researching our specific logistics have discovered that this will be during the York Food and Drink Festival, which looks like a huge major event.
Does anyone know how big this is, in terms of will getting lodging for a couple of York nights be both highly difficult and with sharply increased rates? We are just coming off this "mistake", having last January booked a Germany trip that flew into Munich, and silly us, did not realize until a couple days later that we were arriving in the middle of Oktoberfest. Needless to say, our airfare savings disappeared rapidly for those first 3 nights.
TIA
