Knaresborough Christmas Market Weekend — details revealed
Knaresborough's Christmas Market Weekend will be held on December 2 and 3 in the town's historic Market Place.
Almost 60 stalls will be selling seasonal goods and there will be hot roasted chestnuts and mulled wine as well as performances by local dancers, brass bands and choirs.
The town centre will be largely pedestrianised for the event, but a free park and ride is available all weekend from the GSPK car park (postcode HG5 8LF) on Manse Lane to Chapel Street, close to the market square. Buses will run from 8am to 5.30pm throughout the weekend.
As always, the market weekend will close at 4.30pm on the Sunday with a firework finale set against the backdrop of Knaresborough viaduct and Nidd Gorge.

Market chair Hazel Haas said this year's market would be "even bigger" than last year's event. She added:

Committee member Charlotte Gale added:
The new Knaresborough banking hub, at the top of Kirkgate, has agreed to open its Post Office counter services during the Christmas Market. This will allow people to access cash over the counter from 9am to 5pm on both days.
Event co-sponsor 1858 Bar & Restaurant will hold an after-party following the firework finale.
