The picturesque Yorkshire town’s Christmas Market Where You Can Escape The Crowds

Christmas markets in Yorkshire are a delightful experience with all the twinkling lights, mulled wine, and festive cheer. But, the main ones are York, Sheffield, and Leeds, leaving ol’ East Yorkshire wanting.

This has changed this year after the success of the Xmas event last year, which saw hundreds of people attend, the picturesque market town of Pocklington in East Yorkshire is hosting its second European-style Christmas market with a whole host of festive cheer heading its way.

For one weekend only, the Pocklington Christmas market will host 70 stalls of various crafts, food producers, and traders offering truly unique gifts for the perfect bit of festive cheer.
