It’s the time of year when the Christmas markets are starting to open and the streets are adorned with twinkling lights. The weather may be getting drearier but we aren’t letting that dampen our spirits. And, there is no better way to celebrate than with iconic Bettys Christmas Afternoon Tea to get you in the festive spirits.
The York Christmas markets opened yesterday and we went down to check it out. There were fantastic huts with independent traders selling their goods – all adorned in fantastic fairy lights and baubles.

Served up in the Imperial Room in Harrogate or the Belmont Room in York, you can enjoy the famous Bettys afternoon tea experience surrounded by history. The Tearoom unveiled its incredible window display earlier this month which looks incredible and usually sets off the festive season.
