Quite unusual to review an antique shop, its a shop really and not a tourist attraction! This is an excellent old school antique shop always well stocked with oak and country furniture at affordable prices. A genuine and friendly owner makes this as good a reason as any to visit Hawes. 19th and 18th century country furniture, slip ware, collectables and decorative objects.

What a lovely little market right in the heart of Knaresborough with a wide range of items including craft and paper goods, bags, shoes , plants and flowers and beautiful local fruit and veg at very reasonable prices . The market square is worth seeing too.

A vibrant mix of street food, drink, shops, a community theatre, a brewery, art and more. Our businesses are all independent, local to York, and all with a social purpose to their work.

Loved this place so trendy. The drinks were reasonably priced as was most of the food. Some was a little more on the expensive side but all have menu boards outside so you can choose. There is currently a one way system in place and hand gel stations throughout. The toilets are unisex but were clean. You can not smoke anywhere within the establishment you have to leave and standout outside. Gluten free menus were available at some venders but options were limited. Would definitely recommend if you are out for drinks in York and not everyone wants the same to eat or wants a snack rather than a meal

6. Skipton Market

Skipton Market is unique. Its history dates back to medieval times, when a royal charter granted consent to The Lord of the Honour of Skipton Castle to hold a fair on Skipton High Street. This consent still holds true today - and the current owner of Skipton Castle grants the rights to hold the market on four days each week. The historic fairs of medieval times have long since been replaced by what we now recognise as a traditional street market, but the principles are the same - a group of traders get together on the High Street, and sell their wares. For many years, the market in Skipton was a place where animals were traded. The town's close association with sheep is reflected in the name. Skipton actually means 'Sheep Town' - so the historic link will always remain. On each market day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday), stalls are erected on the area of the High Street known as the setts. These are, in effect, cobbled areas between the formal footpaths and the main road.

Love, love, love Skipton market, buy all my crops (3/4 trousers from there), brilliant friendly stall holders. They were even kind enough to post crops to me just after the first lockdown started. Fri and Sat probably the best days to go, with stalls top to bottom on both sides of the Main Street. Mon and Wed a bit quieter with not so many stalls. But the variety of items for purchase is endless. And there are shops aplenty for the avid shoppers. There are plenty of eateries, so no need to go hungry or thirsty. And to top it off, a browse around Skipton Castle is ideal for the history boffins. Or take a load off with a nice relaxing canal ride, with a choice of 2 meals for those who like something different. All in all it’s a beautiful place, and well worth visiting at any time of year.

Lovely small market not too far from the city centre. Easily accessible by bus 65 from Richmond station. Takes approximately ten minutes by bus or you can enjoy a pleasant 25 minute walk. Small market with a variety of stalls selling home made cakes, cookies and other delicious savouries. Couple stalls selling all health and well-being products, a scarf stand and couple delicious food stands such as falafel and noodles. Located along the waterfronts (Thames River) with spectacular views. Nice place to eat lunch and walk along the river side. Boat rides can be taken from the waterfront side too. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
