"I just wanted to congratulate you on the Christmas market in the centre of York. There was a good number of stalls offering a wide variety of attractive and unusual gifts. I visited from Leeds and was able to complete my Christmas shopping in an afternoon. The market was well laid out and inviting and the quality and variety of items on offer was impressive! Although busy it wasn't overwhelming and with the well presented stalls and layout it proved to be an enjoyable as well as successful shopping trip!" - Catherine.
