Welcome to Mince Pie Non-Stop, the Christmas radio station brought to you by Minster FM and York BID!
Every year for a few days around Christmas, Minster FM changes its name to Mince Pie FM, and some of our listeners have told us they want more. But rather than extend Mince Pie FM, we've gone one better and made a whole Mince Pie radio station, with support from York BID!
From 14th November to 26th December 2019, tune in to Mince Pie Non-Stop on DAB Digital Radio or listen online to hear non-stop Christmas hits. After Boxing Day, we're no longer on DAB, but you can still listen online until New Year! It's the ultimate Christmas radio station – there aren't even any adverts!
Win a £1,000 York Gift Card with Mince Pie Non-Stop
We're giving you the chance to win £1,000 York Gift Card to spend in over 200 stores by finding our Mince Pie password which you can find somewhere in York City Centre.
When you've spotted it, fill in the entry form below. One lucky winner, picked at random will win!
Sorry - this competition has now closed.
