Whilst you're here, make sure you leave time to explore our many independent shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants, historic castle, famous viaduct river view, stunning Christmas Tree Festival at St John's and Mother Shipton's Cave Christmas Experience (must be pre-booked online).

There is a free Park and Ride at GSPK on Manse Lane too (HG5 8LF) and a spectacular firework finale at 4.30pm on Sunday, set against the backdrop of Knaresborough's stunning viaduct and Nidd Gorge. Pet owners note that this will last around 10 minutes.

Whilst most stallholders will accept cards, there are now only two ATMS in the town centre, so you may find it easier to bring cash with you if you are likely to need it. 

There are two ATMs in Knaresborough; one at Sainsbury’s Local by the bus station and another one at Tesco Express on the High Street. Most stalls and shops will accept cards, but you are advised to bring plenty of cash, as the machines in town may run out. There is an additional ATM at the Co-op petrol station (HG5 8LH) close to the market Park & Ride car park on Manse Lane.

The Banking Hub won't be open over the Christmas Market weekend this year. There is a One Banx machine located in Knaresborough Library (open 9.30am - 1.30pm on the Saturday only). However, visitors will need to have the One Banx app and their own mobile banking app installed on their phone to use it.
