One of the highlights on Yorkshire’s festive calendar is back for another year. On Sunday 29th November from 10am till 4pm, Richmond Market Place will be turning into a wonderful Christmas Fair.
The festivities begin with a 2k Fun Run organised by Swaledale Runners. This sets off at 10am, and everyone is welcome. If you are feeling uber festive, then get dressed up as there will be prizes for the best costumes. To note, under 9s need to be accompanied by an adult on the run.
After the run, the fun continues with a host of entertainment, food and drink, and plenty to buy. To give you a taste of the event, the Richmond Christmas Fair features:
- Fairground rides
- Fire dancers
- Live music from a brass band, the Ran Tanners, the Richmond Mummers, and the Army Engagement Ensemble from Catterick Garrison.
- The Snow Fairy
- Free drop-in Christmas crafts at All Things Bright featuring some fantastic local artists.
What about Santa? We hear you cry. If you are bringing the little ones, they can of course meet jolly old Saint Nick in Santa’s Grotto in the centre of the Market Place.
While the air is filled with music and laughter, you can also do your Christmas shopping. The cobbled Market Place will be lined with stalls from local and independent shops where you can pick up lots of gifts, produce, homeware, great stocking fillers, and much more. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of scrummy food and hot drinks to enjoy and keep you warm.
So, head down to Richmond this November for a day filled with fun, indulgence, and plenty of festive retail therapy. Check out the official Facebook page for more information.
