Overview
- The five-and-a-half-week market runs daily from 10:30am to 7pm through Sunday, December 21.
- More than 20 alpine-chalet stalls span Parliament Street and St Sampson’s Square with seasonal food, drink and gifts.
- The later 10:30am start followed access concerns from Blue Badge holders, with a music-free ‘quiet time’ set for 10am–12pm.
- Organisers relocated the Treehouse, removed the King’s Square carousel and cut seven huts to reduce bottlenecks.
- Make It York says 85% of traders are from Yorkshire, with stalls including Tommy’s Pie Shop, Cut & Craft and Lucia; sample prices include a Cowboy pie at £10, steak and chips at £15 and mulled wine at £6.50.
