- Every 21st December the custom of the Sheriff’s Riding takes place after dusk in York. The Sheriff's party is accompanied by the York Waits in their livery; they process around the city, playing music and reading a proclamation at each of the city gates. The proclamations welcome "all manner of whores, dice players, thieves and other unthrifty folk” into the city for the 12 days of Yule.
