St Nicholas Fayre in York from tomorrow
St Nicholas Fayre
The St Nicholas Fayre returns with seasonal sparkle on Thursday 28 November for four days of festive trading.
The Fayre, now in its 22nd year, is a firm favourite in the market calendar and runs until Sunday 1 December.
Snug wooden huts and pretty lights will line Parliament Street and Coppergate with a traditional carousel in St Sampson’s Square.
Stall holders, dressed in Victorian costume, will be offering a huge array of gifts including jewellery, ceramics, seasonal drinks, Whitby jet, wooden gifts, children’s clothes, herbs and oils and decorations for the Christmas period.
Other markets taking place across the city include
- the Made in Yorkshire art and craft market at the Guildhall,
- the Medieval Market at Barley Hall and an Arts and
- Crafts market at St William’s College.
St Nicholas Fayre is open from 28 November to 1 December from 9am until 6pm daily and runs alongside the permanent Newgate Market in the city centre.

Bistro to give Front Street another boost
Conlans opening on 26th November
A new Bistro is to open on Front Street.
Conlans Bistro will take over the vacant tea room premises near Morrisons and will be open from Tuesday 26th November.
The Bistro is inviting “the people of Acomb Village and beyond to our pre-opening event on Friday 22nd November, between 2 and 6pm”.
They are also offering a special “Christmas Feast” for £35. Telephone York 289641 for details.
The opening will come as a further boost to the Front Street area following the news of a £30,000 regeneration grant.
However there is still a lot of empty property in the street.
Hopefully the recovering economy will see these premises reoccupied shortly.
