A special festive late shopping night on Thursday 19th November kicks off the Christmas season in York this year. An ice sculpture of an angel will take place in St Sampson's Square along with the decoration of the Christmas tree in St Helen's Square marking some of the family festivities taking place.

St Nicholas Fayre takes place on the 26th November is one of York's most important events being one the most visited in York's Christmas calendar, followed by The annual Festival of Angels which takes place on 12-13 December.

Combine all this with a colourful programme of events, the narrow cobbled medieval streets and gothic architecture of York, and the nightly ghost walks, and you have an exciting winter season for visitors to our beautiful city!

St Nicholas Fayre is certainly an event not to miss out on when you can experience a Victorian market with period costume traders, carol singers, and the delicious smells of roasted chestnuts and hot chocolate. St Nicholas Fayre begins on Thursday 26th November and lasts for 4 days.
