When: Wednesday 13th January at 16.00-19.00
Where: Bedern Hall York
York’s Minster Quarter is holding the first of a series of FREE workshops for the organisation’s members at Bedern Hall York and as part of the new GAMBIT project, the working title of a ‘World First’ application that Science City York (part of Make it York) has been developing with Bosch, ARUP, Virtual Viewing and Fosse Games. It is a totally new APP that is set to transform how people interact and buy from business and enjoy their visitor experience in the City. The first workshop for the initiative is to be at Bedern Hall York on Wednesday 13th October from 16.00-19.00.
Retailers and attractions in the historic area that includes the most preserved elements of the City of York’s Roman origins, in order to highlight the many interesting and high quality establishments in this area of the City established the Minster Quarter in 2007.
“The Minster Quarter is historically, probably the most important part of the City with York Minster as its jewel and the workshops are designed to involve businesses and organisations in the Minster Quarter so that they can influence how the area is promoted. GAMBIT is set to transform the way visitors interact and we are delighted to be the first business group to be involved in the project. The workshop will include sessions on how businesses can take advantage of the new APP”. comments Frank Wood, chairman of the Minster Quarter and Owner of Braithwaite Jewellers of Goodramgate.
The workshops at Bedern Hall will include two sessions, the first to involve people in an ideas-generating session about the overall marketing of the Minster Quarter and the second focusing on GAMBIT and what businesses want to include. Places on the FREE workshop can be booked online at: http://bit.ly/MQWorkshop
“This is a great opportunity for businesses and organisations in the Minster Quarter to get involved and help us to revitalise the group in 2016 with their own ideas and using GAMBIT as a new tool to attract the next generation of visitors to their businesses in this most important part of the City. We have received excellent support from Make it York and Science City York plus a small grant from the York, North Yorkshire & East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership”. adds John Gallery, project director.
