The glint of candlelight on gold, glass chandeliers sparkling on the grand staircase, shadows cast in gilt mirrors, visitors or ghosts...? The first evening opening of Treasure's House as part of Illuminating York promises to be one to remember. A rare opportunity to see the house at night. 13 historic rooms full of rich and curious antiques all belonging to one Yorkshire man, Frank Green.

If ghosts are your thing, then get on a tour to the famous ghost cellar where the Roman legion walked (places limited so come early).
