York Christmas Market Officially BEST in UK

THAT’S right – our very own city has hit another milestone. We officially have the BEST Christmas Market in the UK.

This year’s Great British Market Awards saw the St Nicholas Fair in York pick up the Best Large Speciality Market trophy at the ceremony in Birmingham’s Council House on the 31st January.

Chris Price, Head of York City Centre and Markets at Make It York, says: “I feel so proud because the team put in so much effort. We genuinely wanted to deliver something special for York. It takes all year to prepare for and it’s so great to hear from your peers that people like what we are doing.”

The St Nicholas Fair boasts over 100 chalets through Parliament Street, St Sampson’s Square, The Coppergate Centre, and The Judge’s Lodgings. And this festive award is the icing on the Christmas cake, as it follows York being voted ‘most festive city in the UK‘ in a national poll by Virgin Trains.

Paul Whiting, Head of Visit York, says: “It’s a fantastic accolade for York to be recognised by the markets industry. St Nicholas Fair is a great advert for York and Yorkshire with such a high proportion of local businesses involved and giving local residents and visitors alike the chance to enjoy a wonderful festive atmosphere – and see the city looking its best.”
