What’s not to love about Skipton? Immence history, a rich culture, independent shops, food and drink places galore, a famous market, an iconic castle and stunning countryside.

 

Skipton’s distinctively broad and spacious high street is the perfect venue for a traditional North Yorkshire market. Four days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday) an eclectic mix of traders fill both sides of the high street cobbles with stalls packed with clothing, homewares, fruit and veg, cheese, fish and so much more.

 

There are also a vast array of unique, individual, independent shops.  Not only will you find great shops on the High Street but they are hidden down the ginnels and side streets so to have a truly unique shopping experience make sure you venture off the main streets to see what Skipton has to offer.
