I had a great night in York at The Grand Opera House, where paranormal podcast Uncanny: Fear of the Dark was showing. Sometimes budget and location are the priority, so my friend and I chose a cheap and cheerful Travelodge (£54), dinner in Pizza Express (25% off with a Taste Card) and a pint in The Golden Fleece before the show!

A cozy bar interior features a variety of spirits, a Rosie's Quiz sign promoting Monday night events, and warm lighting.
