One
of the major events on Skipton's calendar is the famous Medieval
Yuletide Festival.
Visitors travel from all over the country to experience
the atmosphere of our historic town on these special days.
Entertainment
is provided throughout the town with the centre-piece being the
realistic fighting displays performed by the Harlech Medieval
Society.
Many
of the shopkeepers and stallholders can be seen in period costume,
and a superb day is had by all.
All Skipton's individual shops are open, and
the famous market is in full swing, so these are also ideal days
for Christmas Shopping.
The
days' entertainment culminates in a spectacular Lantern Procession
through the High Street, which is followed by Carol Singing in
the Churchyard.
