Yorkshire's Farmers Come to Town:
York Farmer's Markets are regularly held on the outskirts of Yorkshire. But for a few days just before Christmas, they bring the abundance of Yorkshire's organic farms, dairies and cheese makers right into the center of town.

If you are self-catering in the area, this is where to source your Christmas dinner. If not, there will be plenty of soaps, crafts and gifts to take home - along with memorable pictures.
