Ripon's Market Place will be transformed into a festive winter wonderland for the Ripon Christmas Markets, running from November 20 to 22. Organised by Little Bird Made, the event will feature hand-crafted gifts, seasonal décor, bespoke jewellery, warm spiced drinks and seasonal entertainment across the Market Place, which will be housed in beautiful wooden huts.

Jackie Crozier, managing director of Little Bird Made, said: 'We are absolutely thrilled to bring the Ripon Christmas Markets back to the heart of the city for the second year running. Transforming Ripon Market Place into such a festive wonderland housed in beautiful wooden huts creates a truly magical atmosphere for families, locals, and visitors alike.'

The market is expected to deliver a welcome boost to the local economy. Lilla Bathurst, manager of Ripon BID, said Christmas markets are 'a huge driver of footfall for town and city centres' and noted that the event coincides with Ripon's full Christmas market and fair weekend, with the Cathedral Christmas Food and Gift Fair also running on Friday and Saturday.
