New - major Harrogate event cancelled for Christmas as new Covid rules hit home

A new announcement from Country Living Magazine Fair confirms it has had to cancel this year's Country Living Christmas Fairs in London, Glasgow and Harrogate due to Covid-19 restrictions and recent changes in Government restrictions.

The organisers said: "Although we were confident that our revised plans for the Fairs would make it safe to proceed, recent changes to Covid-19 restrictions have made it impossible to go ahead with the Fairs.

"We look forward to what we hope will be happier times in 2021 - and look forward to seeing you at the Country Living Fairs next year."

But Country Living Magazine emphasied that customer could still enjoy great festive shopping from home at Country Living’s online Pop-Up Christmas Market.

It’s free to register and many of the small businesses and makers from the Fairs will be taking part.

Their message is "celebrate Christmas at home with Country Living - shop small and make a big difference."

Country Living’s Pop-Up Christmas Market will take place from Friday, November 6 to Sunday, November 8, and shop from home whilst supporting artisan British makers and designers:

Find thousands of unique gifts, hand-made decorations and stunning festive inspiration.

Shop from over 300 independent businesses – enjoy exclusive discounts over the Pop-Up weekend.
