It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...So, with a few changes to the plans this year, we have compiled this guide of everything you need to know about Harrogate's Christmas markets.

After the loss of the original Harrogate Christmas Market, the festive offering has splintered into three markets.

While some of the original stalls will be at the newly-refurbished Crimple Hall at the end of November, new stall holders will be at events across the town centre and Valley Gardens in December.
