£2 train tickets to visit Christmas markets in five Yorkshire towns
£2 train tickets are on offer for customers planning trips to some of Yorkshire’s fantastic Christmas markets this festive season.
Northern Rail is offering fares to Halifax, Scarborough, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Skipton for only £2 on selected dates, and just £1 for children.
The £2 tickets are available to customers travelling to the following markets:
The Piece Hall Christmas Market in Halifax – November 14 to December 21 (on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays)
Scarborough Sparkle – November 28 to November 30
Harrogate Christmas Fayre – December 5 to December 14
Knaresborough Christmas Market – December 6 to December 7
Skipton Christmas Market – December 7 and December 14
Alex Hornby, Northern’s customer and commercial director, said: “To help everyone get into the festive spirit this year, we’re offering cheap fares so customers can travel to some of the brilliant traditional Christmas markets across Yorkshire.
“We know how popular the big cities can be, so we wanted to do something to shine a light on the fantastic markets and events in the smaller towns we serve.
"We hope these great ticket prices will leave our customers with a little extra money to spend at the stalls. They can also avoid all the stress that comes with sitting in traffic and searching for a parking space during these busy events.
"There are only a limited number of these discounted tickets available, so we're encouraging customers to book now to avoid missing out."
Of course, Sheffielders don’t have to travel at all to enjoy a top-rated Christmas Market.
Stretching from The Moor up through Pinstone Street to the Town Hall Square, this year’s Sheffield Christmas Market promises a feast of food, drink and gifts, with a mix of returning favourites and exciting new additions.
