Knaresborough Christmas Market is making a comeback after last year’s cancellation with the organising committee promising a “Yorkshire experience to remember”.
The market will take place in the town’s Market Square on December 4 and 5.
There will be almost 50 stalls selling Christmas decorations, gifts and locally sourced produce.
While visitors sip on their mulled wine they can also enjoy live entertainment from local dancers, choirs and brass bands.
As in previous years, the market will culminate with a fireworks display over Knaresborough’s iconic viaduct at 4.30pm on Sunday, December 5.
Market chair, Hazel Haas, said:
“Sadly we had to cancel last year’s market, so there is a real buzz in the town about its return. It’s been a difficult 18 months for Knaresborough residents and businesses and we wanted to give everyone something to look forward to.”
The Christmas Market committee has been working with other local organisations to promote all festive events in the town in the hope of encouraging more people to visit.
The not-for-profit committee are also supporting Knaresborough RAF Cadets, Knaresborough Lions, Rotary Knaresborough, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Knaresborough Cricket Club.
Committee member Charlotte Gale said:
“We hope that visitors to the market will also take the time to explore everything which Knaresborough has to offer. The businesses always make such an effort to decorate their windows for Christmas, which gives a wonderful festive feeling in town on the market weekend.”
