1331 café bar staff dress as gorillas to promote charity quiz.

There was plenty of monkeying around in York as this band of gorillas went bananas.

The 21 apes were staff from the 1331 café bar, in Grape Lane, who were enjoying an early Christmas party.

The stunt was also a chance to promote the bar’s charity quiz, to be held at 8pm on November 19, when the gorilla suits will be auctioned off for the Guardian Angels charity.

Alex Quinn, the bar manager, said they had all gone on a tour of York’s historic attractions and some of its pubs.

They called in at York Minster, and went on to other tourist attractions such as York Dungeon and the Haunted House.

Alex said: “It was absolutely fantastic. We got a really good reaction from people in York.

“We made a little diversion into Marks & Spencer’s, where we each bought a banana for our picnic and it was really good fun.”
