Reindeer will be among the attractions

Christmas festivities continue in Knaresborough this weekend with a Winter Fayre in the town’s market place.

Tomorrow’s event, organised by Knaresborough Business Collective, follows on from the success of the Spring Fayre in April.

Annie Wilkinson-Gill, from The Crystal Buddha, and Natalie Horner, from Sid Horner and Son, founders of the business group, said the event would feature a host of attractions.

They include children’s rides, a Father Christmas grotto, reindeer, face painting, Punch and Judy shows, live entertainment and music, food and drink stalls and free craft workshops, as well as a local artisan market.

The fayre will be opened at 10am by town crier Roger Hewitt and will continue until 4pm.

To accompany the event, the group is also hosting a Christmas window competition, which will see businesses in the town create displays with a festive theme. Prizes will be awarded to the top three best dressed windows.

Ms Horner said:

“We are so excited to be doing the collective’s fourth window competition this year, they have been a huge success and make town look fantastic.

“Knaresborough’s window displays have been such a hit they’re actually becoming a tourist attraction that people are travelling to town to see.

“They will contribute to a fantastic atmosphere for our Winter Fayre on Saturday –  an amazing fun-filled day for all the family.

“We have so many things planned including fairground rides, reindeer, Santa’s grotto, a mulled wine tent, free craft workshops, face painting and local artisan market. After the success of the Spring Fayre we are so excited!”
