Norman Court, York

This little hidden gem of a courtyard is just off Grape Lane in York. It is full of old world charm and boasts some interesting shops and a café. The picture frames on the wall create their own form of art as well as publicising the shop where you can buy both frames and pictures.

A vintage shop, café and printer and bookbinders on the corner make for a less busy part of York to explore and enjoy.

The Art shop is well worth a visit and stocks a range of prints as well as work by York artists and traditional views of York. They have a large range of ready-made frames and you can order bespoke ones.
