Beyond Monopoly! meets every 1st & 3rd Saturday in The Railway Institute, 22 Queen Street, York YO24 1AD, right next to the York rail station. We normally meet in Room 1, at the top of the building. Sadly, the RI does not have disabled access and we’re up two long flights of stairs.

To find us, if you stand with your back to the rail station, turn to the right and we’re in the big red building. Just walk on over and come upstairs.
