Veya — date by doing

Dating in York

Coming soon

The York dating app for people who'd rather do something.

York is essentially a walkable date route with a wall around it — snickelways, riverside pubs and enough history to keep a conversation moving.

We haven't launched York yet. Join free to reserve your spot — we open new cities once enough members are waiting.
