Having been listed as one of the top 10 Christmas markets in the UK by the Daily Telegraph, the Lightwater Dickensian Christmas Festival has been expanded into a 5 day event for 2010. With over 75 stalls selling a huge range of high quality contemporary and traditional merchandise, as well as special Christmas displays from our permanent outlets, why not go along and soak up the enchanting atmosphere?

You'll find gifts, stocking fillers and decorations galore, with Yorkshire crafts, hand-painted pottery, fine glassware, millinery, bespoke art and hand-made jewellery taking centre stage. Likewise, this festival just wouldn't be complete without an extensive range of stalls selling high-quality North Yorkshire produce, from wines and beers to pies, meats and cheeses. In fact, Lightwater Shopping Village is a showcase for everything that's great about North Yorkshire at this festive time of year.

The entertainment programme will be as comprehensive as ever, with something to keep the whole family entertained on all four days:

· Jazz Bands
· Victorian Flea Circus
· Handbell Ringers
· Festive Carol Singers
· Punch & Judy shows
· Barrel Organs
· Santa's Grotto
· Superb Local Choirs
· Stilt Walkers & Fire Eaters
· Birds of Prey flying demonstrations

Oh, and don't worry if all this Christmas Shopping and festive entertainment makes you a little weary - just remember to take time out to enjoy the taste and aroma of the finest Christmas fayre. Roasted Chestnuts, a sizzling hog roast and delicious mulled wine will be available throughout the festival, as well as a superb Christmas carvery with all the trimmings in their Granary restaurant.

With so many festivities in one place, it's no wonder that their Dickensian Festival was short-listed for a White Rose Award!
