Knaresborough Christmas Market will still go ahead this December after organisers found ways to ensure visitor safety.
The two-day event, scheduled for December 5 and 6, is set to proceed after organisers used the town's weekly market as a guide.
Last week, the Stray Ferret reported that the Harrogate Christmas Market is set to be called off. Organisers of the Knaresborough market said it will be "different", with the number of stalls having to be reduced and others spread to other areas of the town in an attempt to avoid overcrowding and large queues.
Hazel Haas, chair of the Knaresborough Christmas Market committee, said:
Meanwhile the annual firework display in Knaresborough has had to be cancelled. Its popularity has raised concerns over crowding and the difficulty of managing it safely.
