HISTORY

Tickets with on-site parking are now all gone

You’re still very welcome to come and pay on the door, but there is NO-ONSITE PARKING BEFORE 1:30pm for visitors who didn't book tickets in advance. You will be directed to other pay and display car parks if you arrive before this time.

Getting here without on-site parking (before 1:30pm):
• Walk if you’re local, or

• Park at Skipton Building Society’s Bailey Car Park (£3) and hop on our free shuttle coach. This car park is run by the Rotary Club of Skipton. All parking proceeds support local charitable causes. Perfect if you’re visiting Skipton anyway.

• Park at Craven Leisure Centre (pay-and-display) and walk through Craven College—find the Ribblehead building and follow the path round. Please note: this route is not suitable for those with mobility problems.

After 1:30pm:
Limited on-site parking will open. Parking on-site is still not guaranteed and will be managed by our stewards—please follow their directions.

ALISON PLUMMER

One of the best Christmas fairs we've been to. Everything was spot on with the organisation. Easy parking, excellent facilities and a wide variety of craft stalls.
