Valley Gardens Christmas market confirmed for December
Harrogate Borough Council confirmed today that an artisan market will go ahead in Valley Gardens as part of the town's festive offering.
The market, which will be held on December 4 and 5 between 10am and 3pm, will be one of two Christmas markets in Harrogate.
The council said it had approved an event management plan submitted by market organisers Little Bird Made.
It had previously failed to approve an event management plan for the traditional Christmas market on Montpellier submitted by Harrogate Christmas Market Ltd, meaning it will not take place.
Sixty local and regional traders and producers will sell festive arts and crafts, clothing, homeware and jewellery, as well as food and drink, at the Valley Gardens event.

Kirsty Stewart, parks and grounds maintenance manager at the council, said:
Jackie Crozier, owner of Little Bird Made, said she was delighted by the news and urged anyone interested in having a stall to get in touch. She added:
The market will accompany a separate council-approved event called Harrogate Christmas Market, which will take place on Cambridge Street, Market Place, Station Square and Cambridge Crescent in Harrogate town centre between December 3 and 12. This event will be run by Market Place Europe.
A ferris wheel, Victorian carousel, helter skelter and road train will also be part the council's Harrogate’s festive package.
The festivities will last from November 15 to the first week of January.
