Getting To The Beverley Festival Of Christmas – All You Need To Know

The Beverley Festival of Christmas, proudly supported by The Beverley Arms, will see the town transform into a festive wonderland with Victorian market stalls, fairground rides and street entertainment.

Visitors to this year’s festival are encouraged to travel via public transport to get into Beverley. Visitors can also make use of the Park and Ride facility set up at Beverley Racecourse (postcode: HU17 8QZ) – which for this year will be FREE of charge.

Owing to road closures and restricted parking in the market town, the train station located close to the town centre and Flemingate will welcome visitors travelling from all over the region.

Similarly, Beverley bus station is located at the heart of the town and the festive action, with services bringing in visitors from places including Hull, Driffield, Pocklington, Bridlington, Hornsea and York.

The first bus will depart from the racecourse at 9am and run every 10 minutes to and from the festival centre. The last bus to return to Beverley Racecourse will be at 4.25pm. Alternatively, walking from the Park and Ride – and taking in a scenic Westwood walk – is approximately 20 minutes.

The bus service means that visitors will be there on time to see Santa and his reindeer ride the Christmas sleigh from Wednesday Market at 10am, as the first bus will depart from the racecourse at 9am and run every 10 minutes to and from the festival centre.

The event will see three Victorian Christmas Markets including ‘Saturday Market’, ‘Wednesday Market’ and ‘North Bar’ host lots of family-friendly entertainment as well as a range of market stalls brimming with festive gifts. There will also be festivities taking place at Flemingate shopping centre.

The Made in East Yorkshire Christmas market will be in Saturday Market Place from Monday 13 December until Friday 17 December (10am – 8pm – Friday until 4pm) and will celebrate all things East Yorkshire.

This market will follow on from the usual Saturday market and the hugely successful Beverley Festival of Christmas which will be taking place on Sunday, 12 December (10am – 4pm).
