Programme of Events for 2012York is celebrating in a big way in 2012. It is 800 years
since the city was granted a Royal Charter by King John in 1212,
allowing York to take charge of its financial affairs and to trade
freely. In response, York's citizens created a council led by a mayor
to manage the city's affairs, laying the foundations of local
democracy. The
city wants to get its residents, businesses and visitors involved in the
year-long celebration to understand the city's unique past; create a
sense
of belonging in the city today; and make a step change for the future.
