Organisers of a new Christmas event claim it will be fantastic for both local people and businesses alike.

Pocklington Christmas Market will take place on the 16th & 17th December between the 10am and 6pm. Amongst the twinkling lights and delightful Christmas music will be in the region of 70 stalls, from local craft and food produce traders to totally unique gifts. All of the beautiful stalls will line the Market Place.

In St Peter’s Square visitors will find an amazing winter wonderland area with a live entertainment stage, giant snow globe, street food traders in Swiss chalets and a stunning Après Ski Bar with stage side seating.
So get into the festive spirit and experience the magic of Christmas in Pocklington with a host of stalls, musicians, festive children’s entertainment, a chance to meet Santa, world renowned street entertainers, comedy acts, dance performances, radio roadshows and much more.

Across on the Bugle Facebook group some local people have expressed concern about the loss of car parking on two busy days in the run up to Christmas whilsts small traders have commenetd that £120 for a stall for two days is far too expensive.

The organisers are Dowse Events who say the Pocklington Christmas Market experience will be like anything you would expect to find in major European Cities.

Road closure orders have already been applied for and the company has been working with ERYC and liasing with Pocklington Town Clerk Gordon Scaife.

So far as the Bugle is aware the Pocklington Festival will still be taking place on 26 November.
