YORK shoppers are being promised 12 days of Christmas goodies to celebrate the launch of free Wi-Fi in the city centre.

CityConnect, which provides Wi-Fi in the centre and at York’s Park & Ride sites, and is powered by Pinacl Solutions, has partnered with local businesses, including the Jorvik Viking Centre, York Dungeon and Bettys, who are giving away prizes for 12 consecutive days.

“Each day at 9am, the prize will be tweeted from @CityConnectYork with the unique hashtag #CityConnectChrimbo,” said a spokesman.

“Entrants will be required to follow and retweet and a winner will be picked daily at random at 5pm.”
