Now firmly established as one of North Yorkshire’s foremost Christmas festivals, our Shopping Village Dickensian event just keeps getting bigger and better every year.   With over 50 stalls selling a huge range of high quality contemporary and traditional merchandise, as well as special Christmas displays from our permanent outlets, why not come along and soak up the enchanting atmosphere?  

You’ll find gifts, stocking fillers and decorations galore, with Yorkshire crafts, hand-painted pottery, fine glassware, millinery, bespoke art and hand-made jewellery taking centre stage.    
Likewise, the festival just wouldn’t be complete without an extensive range of stalls selling high-quality North Yorkshire produce, from wines and beers to pies, meats and cheeses.


The entertainment programme will be as comprehensive as ever, with something to keep the whole family entertained on all four days:

  • Brass bands
  • Handbell Ringers
  • Barrel Organs
  • Santa’s Grotto
  • Festive Carol Singers
  • Superb Local Choirs
  • Stilt Walkers & Fire Eaters

Don’t worry if all this Christmas Shopping makes you a little weary - just remember to take time out to enjoy the taste and aroma of our finest Christmas fayre.   Roasted Chestnuts, a sizzling hog roast and delicious mulled wine will be available throughout the festival, as well as a superb Christmas carvery with all the trimmings in our very own Granary restaurant.     

All coach groups must be pre-booked
