Pocklington at a Glance
Discover Pocklington
Pocklington is a welcoming East Yorkshire market town at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, between York and Hull. It combines historic streets, a traditional weekly market and an active independent shopping and food scene.
The beautiful lily lakes at Burnby Hall Gardens, medieval All Saints' Church and the performances at Pocklington Arts Centre are highlights. Just outside town, Pocklington Canal offers peaceful towpath walks and wildlife, while the wider Wolds offer walking and cycling.
This White Shire Town Hub brings together verified places to eat, shop, stay and explore. The market takes place on Tuesdays, and our listings highlight nearby attractions separately from the town centre. Discover more places via the Yorkshire Town Hubs.

Keeping Our Yorkshire Town Guides Up to Date
At The White Shire, we regularly review our town guides and business listings, aiming to check information weekly against official websites and other reliable sources.
Opening times, prices and business details can change, so we recommend confirming important information directly with the venue before visiting.
