Access guidance
- At busy periods (particularly at weekends and school holidays) we operate a queueing system outside the shop along the far kerb in the centre of the Shambles . The queue has been known to be 3 hours long at peak times, we ask people to queue with respect to other traders on our street and to follow guidance given by Merchants on the day of your visit. We need to keep access through the queue to the pie shop and must not queue beyond a marked point at the head of the Shambles. The queue must not stray in front of the sweet shop. At busiest times the queue will be split in two with the second queue forming at the the head of the Shambles and running towards Patrick Pool. At very busy times when our queue is at capacity and reaches the Patrick Pool junction we may need to cut the queue off as it cannot continue beyond this point. We then ask customers to come back a little later in the day as it will hopefully have reduced a little by then. The Dispensary queue winds around the edge of the gardens and the Merchants on duty will advise * Please note that at peak times and weekends we often need to cut off the queue ahead of the closing time to prevent it continuing to grow. The time that we cut off the queue will depend on how busy it is that particular day. To avoid disappointment please do not arrive towards the end of the day at peak times as the queue may have already been closed.
- Our shop can be accessed by wheelchair users, although the shop itself is very small we will always do our very best to help with specific needs. The Shambles itself is a rather narrow cobbled medieval street but although it poses slight challenges, is also navigable by wheelchair. If you have problems with standing in the queue outside we do have stools which we can offer. If you have any concerns or specific questions please do contact us in advance of a visit and we shall do our best to help , please email : appointments@yorkghostmerchants.com The Dispensary is a much smaller shop but has a wider entrance and more space around the queue with flatter, paved paths, sloping access and no steps.
