Businesses in Pateley Bridge will stay open late this evening as part of the town’s annual late night shopping event.
Around 25 businesses will be open until 8pm, including Richards Jewellers, Claire Baxter Gallery and H Weatherheads & Sons Butchers.
King Street Workshops will have a range of traders and artisans on display. There will be ceramics, stone, glass and gemstones on offer to buy.
There will also be a performance from Summerbridge and Dacre Brass Band, a children’s Christmas treasure trail and a visit from Father Christmas.
Bertram Richards, of Richards Jewellers, told the Stray Ferret:
“Pateley Bridge’s annual Christmas late night opening is a great occasion for the community to come together.
“Under the sparkle of all the Christmas lights the town really comes alive and it is great way to start the season of festivities.
“With a wide selection of shops and activities it is sure to be another great year for all the family.”
Visitors can also take part in a fancy dress competition on the night. Winners will be announced at The Crown Inn, on High Street, at 7pm for under-12s and adults at 8:30pm.
