Tick everything off your Christmas list at one of North Yorkshire’s most popular Christmas events: the Malton Christmas Festival. Taking place from 3rd to 4th December 2022 in Malton Market Place, there’ll be lots of Christmas shopping options, festive feasting and a lovely atmosphere that’s bound to put you in the festive spirit.  Local producers will be serving up delicious mulled wine, figgy puddings, traditional turkey, goose, and award-winning macarons from Malton’s Master Pâtissier.

New to the Christmas Festival this year will be Lucela’s with their unique chocolate-flavoured rum, Serious Sweets with a range of old-fashioned sweets; Seagrown who hand-harvest seaweed from the Yorkshire coast to create a range of food seasonings, cosmetics and beer; Leeds-based The Yorkshire Sea Salt Company, the first salt house to produce 100% natural, mineral-rich sea salt in Yorkshire since the neolithic era, and a whole host of artisan gift makers. Returning favourites include many Monthly Market regulars, so you can stock up on olive oil, charcuterie, festive tipples, baked goods, cheese, ingredients, gifts and homewares.

In addition to the range of foodie and non-food gift stalls, there will be lots to keep the family entertained, with Christmas classics filling the streets courtesy of Malton’s local brass bands, traditional fairground rides for the children to enjoy and free activities provided by Be Amazing Arts. Plus, visitors will get the chance to tour Malton’s picturesque Market Place on the festive land train!

Entry to the Malton Christmas Festival is free, and the event will be taking place within the town’s Market Place (YO17 7LX), from 9am-3.30pm. There will be a park & ride service running from the edge of town – transportation advice can be found on the Visit Malton website.
