York Christmas Festival

Sadly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, York’s St Nicholas Fair will not be going ahead this year.  The health and wellbeing of our residents, visitors, traders and the city as a whole is, as ever, our top priority and so this year we will instead focus on a virtual Christmas market. Check back on this page for further details coming soon and how you can support local York businesses by buying your festive gifts safely from the comfort of your own home. 

York remains to be proud to have been named ‘The UK’s Most Festive City’ and the city’s restaurants, shops and attractions will still be bringing all the festive cheer to your York experience. Check out the below details of events, experiences, shopping and food offers to enjoy in the city this year.
